Pro-Life Committee Hosts Movie: Bella - True Love Goes Beyond Romance

St. Patrick’s Pro-Life Committee will host a showing of the award-winning movie Bella on Sunday, January 24 from 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. in the church hall.  Bella, which won the 2007 “People’s Choice Award” at Toronto’s International Film Festival, tells the true story of the unexpected encounter and friendship between an ex-soccer player with a mysterious past and a struggling waitress who recently discovered something that will change her life.  The protagonist and producer, Eduardo Verástegui, wanted this PG 13 rated film to emphasize Latino and Christian values, such as the importance of family, in order to inspire wholesome relationships.  High school students are welcome.  Feel free to bring a comfortable chair or beanbag.  Popcorn and soda will be available.  Donations will be accepted.

About Our Council

Council 10914 was chartered in July of 1992 with 37 charter members with the first Chaplain being Fr. William Matzek and the first Grand Knight, Charlie Simpson.
Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism are the cornerstones of our Order which focuses on active involvement by our members in the areas of church, community, council, family and youth.
With over 1800 families at St. Patrick's and our new pastor and Chaplain Fr. Pat Umberger, a 4th Degree member of the KC's, we have tremendous potential for growth. We currently have a nice mix of younger and 'more seasoned' members which has given our council a wonderful balance of energy and character. We would be happy to have you join us! See our Membership Page for details.
