The Knights of Columbus Council 3057 of Old Forge has donated $3,000 to the St. Anthony of Padua Church Capital Improvement Financial Campaign to help fund improvements to St. Anthony’s church building and parish center in Inlet.
Deputy Grand Knight James Foley, Father Shane Lynch, pastor of the Catholic Churches of the Fulton Chain, and Bob Stanton, Grand Knight of the Old Forge Knights of Columbus.
Father Shane Lynch, pastor of the Catholic Churches of the Fulton Chain, launched the Capital Campaign in late July to improve conditions at the church and parish center.
Among the projects are a new handicapped accessible restroom in the parish center and new stairs at the entrances to the church and parish center that will make both buildings handicap accessible. Improvements will also be made to help save on costs of heating both buildings.
Father Shane thanked the Knights for their generosity and support. The campaign is continuing and anyone who would like to contribute to this effort can contact Father Shane at (315) 369-3554.
