Respect Life Commemorative Bricks

The Knights of Columbus St. Peter Damian Council 8699 is very active in both raising money to help local organizations as well as raising awareness of important social and religious issues.

One of the more popular fundraisers for the Knights of Columbus St. Peter Damian Council 8699 has been the sale of commemorative bricks which can be engraved with your choice of text and one or more of three available religious symbols of your choosing.  Once the commemorative bricks have been engraved, they will be placed in the area surrounding the Respect Life Monument adjacent to St. Peter Damian Church.

Orders for commemorative bricks for the year 2008 are now being taken.  The commemorative bricks will be engraved and placed at the Respect Life Monument during various times of the year, depending on the number of orders received.

What is Money Being Raised for?

The money being raised from the sale of the commemorative bricks will be used to recover funds spent on the building of the Respect Life Monument, as well provide the necessary funds to ensure the perpetual maintenance of the monument and for any improvements deemed appropriate.
