January 18 - Since 1972, Councils have sponsored the Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship for boys and girls from the ages of 9 to 14 to provide an athletic outlet and encourage the values of sportsmanship and healthy competition. Kids compete within their own gender and age and progress from local level to district, regional and state competitions.  This year's event was be held in the St Elizabeth Parish School gym.

December 12 - The St. Elizabeth Knights of Columbus Council conducted the annual "Keep Christ in Christmas Poster Contest" with the fourth-grade class at St. Elizabeth School.  All eighteen students participated in the contest which was held from November 24 through December 9, 2025. All work was completed by students while in the classroom. Brother Knights Steve Puccino, Paul Converse and Phil Forlano selected the three top winners on December 10th and Target Gift Certificates ($25, $15, and $10) were presented to the winners at the December 12 School Mass. All eighteen students received a participation certificate and were recognized at the Mass. Thanks to Principal Fitzpatrick for providing the poster board and for printing the certificates.

In December, our Council helped our parish with decorating activities for the Christmas season. This included helping decorate the interior and exterior of the church, assembly of the outdoor Nativity Scene at the front of the church, and placing outdoor luminaries around the church sidwalks on Christmas Eve. We also constructed a life-size Nativity Scene for use at the St. Elizabeth Family Christmas celebration where our Parish School and PREP students presented a Nativity Story play. Of course, Knights helped pack it all away until next year!

Many thanks to the Brothers who volunteered to help out.
