Please Help Parish Families in Their Time of Need

The Knights of Columbus was formed with the explicit mission to help support widows and children of their parish communities who have lost their financial means. In this spirit, the Saint Oscar Romero Knights of Columbus Council 3291 is collecting donations to help temporarily sustain parish family members who have lost their financial resources due to tragedy or other emergencies.

Parish member and Brother Knight Jesus Teran was detained on July 8th after he went to the ICE Pittsburgh field office for a scheduled check-in.

With Jesus in detainment and his uncertain future, his wife Liseth Carvajal, and their two children, Kamila and Lukas are in need of help. The St. Oscar Romero Knights of Columbus started this GoFundMe for the family to help them with immediate needs like groceries, utility bills and mortgage.

Please consider helping these families in their extraordinary time of need. May God bless you for your assistance.
