You might have seen the members of this organization last weekend around Sturgeon Bay giving away Tootsie Rolls to raise money for the Sunshine House and special education programs at area schools. The Knights of Columbus Council 2478 in Sturgeon Bay will be celebrating its 100th anniversary this weekend with Bishop David Ricken of the Green Bay Catholic Diocese being the presider at the 10:30 a.m. mass at Corpus Christi Church on Sunday. Grand Knight Jeff Bruemmer shares the significance of marking the anniversary and having Bishop Ricken participating as the celebrant.
The Knights of Columbus has about 120 members and participates in local youth programs every year like the Free Throw Championship and Christmas Poster Contest. The organization will be holding a special dinner marking the 100th anniversary on Saturday evening at the Arle Memorial building commemorating the past Grand Knights, Faithful Navigators, and deceased members of council who served over the years.
