KC Donates to Holy Rosary Rebuilding Fund

La Grange Knights of Columbus Council 2574 presented a $10,000 donation to Queen of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Hostyn. The donation was deposited into the Matching Funds Campaign account at Fayette Savings Bank for the benefit of the church’s rebuilding fund. Donations over $5,000.00 can be dedicated to the “matching side” of the campaign where they are used to match regular donations from the public, enabling them to be doubled. The Queen of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church was destroyed by an explosion and fire the morning of June 9, which also killed one parishioner.

Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Frelsburg - $16,175. Donations may be made at any of the four Fayette Savings Bank locations in La Grange, Flatonia, Schulenburg or Weimar.
