GREENSBORO — Knights of Columbus Council 13236 of St. Paul the Apostle Church recently conducted its first “Pennies from Heaven” campaign.
Baby bottles were distributed after all Masses for two weekends to be returned to a special collection container at a later date. Parishioners were asked to fill the bottles with loose change, checks, or bills that the Knights could put to work to change lives.
The council presented $1,200 donations each to the Greensboro Pregnancy Care Center, Room at the Inn and St. Paul’s SPRED program.

Members of St. Aloysius Church held a Traditional Living Rosary Crusade March 24, praying for and defending traditional marriage. The Living Rosary Crusade is normally held outside, but because of snow, parishioners prayed in Holy Family Hall.
Parishioners at Immaculate Conception Church also organized a rosary for the sanctity of marriage on March 17, praying in front of the chapel facing Main Street where they had also placed a banner for passersby to see the purpose of the gathering.
