New Mulch for a New Year!

St. Matthew Knights of Columbus assist All Saints Catholic School with sprucing up the Playground

On Saturday, August 20, members of Knight of Columbus St. Matthew Council #14360 hitched up their work boots, grabbed their rakes and wheel barrows and went to work. The Brothers helped All Saints Catholic School in Norwalk spread 80 yards of mulch their science park/playground for the students who will be returning soon. It was a large job made much easier by a big turnout from the Knights who assisted some parents and students at ASCS. In addition resident Council carpenters Tim Horne and Jack Consiglio installed an air conditioner in one of the classrooms which was no small task since they had to take apart the window and make a plexiglass make shift window to fit the AC properly.

Grand Knight Scott Criscuolo praised his brothers for their efforts. “It was a fantastic effort by the Brothers of Council 14360. We enjoy working with the parents and students of this great school. It is projects like this they make me proud of being Grand Knight of our council, said Criscuolo.

Council 14360 has established a great relationship over the years by assisting with various maintenance and upkeep projects as well as giving out scholarships yearly to graduating 8th grade students attending a Catholic High School.
