Knights Sacrifice their Hair for Vocations

Knights Sacrifice their Hair for Vocations

During the month of August the students of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School answering the challenge by their principal and the Knights of Columbus from the Bishop Francis J. Green Council # 11855 collected almost $2,000 worth of pennies in their “Pennies from Heaven Drive” to support vocations.

On September 16^th, the Principal, Grand Knight, and School Liaison Officer made good on their promise to have their hair cut if the students beat their record $1,800 from last year.  They did!

The entire student body gathered in the courtyard to watch.
