MADISON — Knights of Columbus throughout the 11 counties that make up the Diocese of Madison have collected nearly $8,000 and turned the money over to Bishop Robert C. Morlino to feed local families in need.
Knights of Columbus state advocate Ron Faust presented Bishop Morlino with the check for $7,826 from their “Food for Families” initiative. In accepting the check on September 8, Bishop Morlino, himself a Knight of Columbus, offered to round out the amount to an even $8,000.
The bishop also made the determination as to how the funds would be effectively distributed through Catholic Charities of Madison, the official outreach arm of the Madison Diocese. He indicated that he wanted a portion of the funds to go to feeding families in the Madison area via the Catholic Multicultural Center’s food pantry and food program and the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry, both of whom operate food pantries on the city’s south side.
