Knights on Bikes/Michigan holds Charity events, Funeral Escorts, Silver Rose Escorts, Escorts our State Officers as well as Cardinals, Bishops and Priests. We help Councils and Parishes, as well as build membership for the Knights of Columbus.

 

Once riding season comes to an end and our bikes are nestled away for a long winter's nap, we gather for a Christmas party on the second weekend of December. This event allows us to express our gratitude to God by attending Mass together with the K of C State Council, followed by a dinner and festive celebration. The evening is filled with fun and games, bringing together our brothers and sisters from Knights on Bikes, the State Council, and other members from throughout the state.

 

Join us in our mission to serve our community and strengthen our bonds as Knights of Columbus members.

Friday, December 6, 2024, marked a milestone for the Michigan State Council at the Winter Leadership Meeting where the announcement and presentation was made for the 100th funded Ultrasound in Michigan.

This milestone was on behalf of the Oxford Pregnancy Center who received funding from the Fr. Thomas R. Carey Council #4764, Lake Orion, its supporting councils, the Livingston County Ultrasound Initiative and the Supreme Council Knights of Columbus.

The introduction of the presentation noted the first Ultrasound unit placement in Michigan by the Knights of Columbus took place at the Center for Women Pregnancy Services in Jackson in 2009 by the leadership of Former District Deputy Stephen Artz, along with now Deacon Tom Arehart and then Life Couple Paul and Sue Thorn. Past State Deputy (deceased) John R. “Bob” Moody and Former Supreme Director Tom Wegener were both key in its placement.

Jeanne Tuski, Executive Director, of Oxford Pregnancy Center received honorary checks totaling $18,536 from Tom Tiffany, Grand Knight; Jim Roback, Ultrasound Chairmen from Fr. Thomas R. Carey Council and $18,536 from Christopher Kolomjec, Supreme Director and Steve Cohen, Supreme Territorial Growth Director. All totaled a donation of $37,072 marking this milestone. Jeanne Tuski shared an emotional example of how this Ultrasound placement has played an important part in the saving of baby’s life since its use.

State Deputy Barry Borsenik concluded with his comments which included gratitude for all the council support for this and all Ultrasound placement, recognition of the past state deputies support Defending Life initiatives as well as that of the Livingston County
Ultrasound Initiative.

SOARing for Life!
