Knights of Columbus Council 7613 Sponsors American Wheelchair Mission in November.
August 18, 2022 at 5:00:00 AM
To all St. Mark the Evangelist Parishioners,
Since 2007, the Knights of Columbus has funded the delivery of tens of thousands of wheelchairs around the world, and right here at home. Thousands of veterans and their families across the United States in need of wheelchairs have received new mobility, and honor the Knights with their thanks and prayers. An average of ten lives are improved by the delivery of each wheelchair. Families can attend worship services and social gatherings together; people who have crawled on the floor or ridden on a skateboard can now look family in the eye for the first time and feel dignity.
The American Wheelchair Mission is a non-profit organization with a goal to deliver brand new, free wheelchairs and mobility aids to physically disabled children, teens and adults throughout the world who are without mobility or the means to acquire a wheelchair. The American Wheelchair Mission will continue to change the lives of entire families with the gifts of hope, dignity, freedom and independence.
There are 100 Million people in the world who need a wheelchair but cannot afford one.
Join Fr. Dennis as he hosts Chris Lewis, President of the American Wheelchair Mission, for a Wheelchair Sunday the weekend of November 19- 20, 2022 and make a difference by giving the gift of mobility to someone in desperate need.
“Truly, I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:40.
