The Knights of Columbus Emergency Preparedness Program is designed to encourage councils to prepare for and respond to emergencies within their communities. The program is part of the Knights of Columbus Community Programs and aligns with the organization’s mission of charity and service.

Purpose

The goal is to help communities be ready before disasters strike and provide support in the aftermath. Councils are encouraged to collaborate with local authorities, churches, and relief organizations to offer assistance to those in need.

2025 Event

On May 7th at 6pm at St Patrick’s Community Hall the John Paul II Council will be hosting David Ruby, borough emergency manager, and Eric Passaro, county emergency manager, where they will speak on how residents can take practical steps in being more prepared when emergencies strike. Please join us for this free, family friendly, event.

We will be serving hot dogs and light refreshments and hold a door prize raffle for a first aid kit.
