The Knights of Columbus, Council 10020 based at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Windham has awarded four scholarships to local youth. The recipients for this year’s scholarships were Andrew Herman of Cheverus High School, Kathryn Lavelle of McAuley High School, Maria Talbot of Windham High School and University of Maine, and Shannon Cummings of Fairfield University.
The winners were selected based on scholarship, school and community activities. Each also wrote two essays describing their goals and what it meant to be part of a Catholic community.
Council 10020 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish was founded in 1989. Since, it has grown to a membership of over 70 members who serve their parish, community, and state. Some of the activities Brother Knights have been involved in include hosting dinners to raise money for the church and other activities, supporting parish events, holding an annual Tootsie Roll fund-raiser for the handicapped, parish cleanups, etc. The council provides four scholarships each year to youth attending Catholic high schools or going on to college.
