0:00
In February 2021, the 35-year-old son of Brother Knight Oscar Garcia was killed in a tragic house fire. Knights from Council 17501 in Charlotte, NC, quickly mobilized to support his widow and two daughters. In addition to providing financial assistance, the council rebuilt the family’s home over a period of 10 months. We applaud Council 17501, co-winner of the 2022-2023 Family Program of the Year, for being a crucial means of support to the Garcia family during this challenging time.

0:00
Knights from Council 14574 in Rochester, MN, sought ways to answer Blessed Michael McGivney’s vision to help widows and orphans. In response, they developed the Adopt-A-Widow program, where Knights adopt the widow of a deceased member of their council. In doing so, they make themselves available to assist with practical needs and to be present in each widow’s life, ensuring they have any community and support they may seek. Congratulations to Council 14574, co-winner of the 2022-2023 Family Program of the Year!
