Sacred Heart Helps Mentally Impaired

The Sacred Heart Knights of Columbus Council #13641 along with hundreds of other councils across the state held their spring Mentally Impaired Tootsie Roll drive on the weekend of March 26 – 28. We would like to thank all the parishioners of Sacred Heart and patrons of Putt Putts who supported us with their donations. Through their generous support we were able to collect over $1200. This total is more than two times the 2020 total. These donations will be distributed to Saint Francis Camp on the Lake and the local chapter of Michigan Special Olympics. We also want to thank all the Knights who gave their time to help this worthy cause.
