2017 Soccer Challenge Results

The Saint Edwards and Corpus Christi Councils of the Knights of Columbus, would like to thank the Town of Clifton Park and the Clifton Park Soccer Club for their support of our annual Soccer Challenge. On Saturday, September 23, and Sunday, September 24, the Knights held a penalty kick competition to determine our region’s representatives to the regional competition.

Forty-seven boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 14 kicked over 1300 penalty kicks over the two days. In the end, we were able to select 5 boys and 5 girls to represent us at the conference and state levels at West Point on November 5. Here’s a hearty shout out to all the participants an congratulations to those who will be advancing. See you at West Point!

Knights Cook for Ronald McDonald House in Albany

Recently five knights from our council went to Ronald McDonald house (RMDH) in Albany under the leadership of Ken Speanburg. They were warmly greeted and then set to work on their mission to cook dinner for approximately 40 to 45 guests. Dinner included baked ziti, salad, garlic bread, and dessert, all prepared by the brothers. This has been a yearly activity for the Knights.
