SAGADA, Mountain Province – New members from
this municipality joined the Knights of Columbus with 55 recruits and 16
transferees from different councils.
In simple ceremonies December last year, the
new member knights were named in recognition of K of C
founder Mauricio Lidwino of Council No. 15552.
The K of C here in Sagada was formed two
years before the centennial celebration of the Roman Catholic
Church built at barangay Kilong in 1914.
The new membership comes as a challenge to
the organization in strengthening its Catholic faith and brotherhood observing
social services for the community, church youth and to their families as
devoted Christians.
For past years from its formation, the K of C demonstrated their religious activities by providing services to local folks.
The organization led construction of San Lorenzo Ruiz Parish at Barangay Tanulong and Divine Mercy Parish at Sitio Ba-ang, Kilong.
The K of C is closely working with the newly
constructed Mt. Carmel Church at Nangonogan, Sagada through the efforts of
chaplain Father Pablo B. Lumiwan, past Grand Knight engineers Andres Malecdan
and Ciano B. Baldo including financial secretary Kapon B. Gomgom-o.

Last December the K of C sponsored mass
wedding and baptism before their retreat to Kiltepan picnic grounds. Residents
say the K of C revived the participation of most church goers.
