Our Council has a long history of hosting a large number of parish and community service projects throughout the year.  We support local organizations such as The Lord's Pantry, Birthright, and St. John's Hospice.  We sponsor Red Cross Blood Drives, and assist with local events such as the Ludwigs Corner Horse Show.  In our Parish, we sponsor family activities such as Basketball Free Throw, Golf Outing, and many Right To Life activities.  We provide assistance with the general needs of our parish and its school.  We also hold a number of fraternal events for our members.  There are always opportunities to get involved!
