BELEN GRAD SELECTED TO REPRESENT ORDER AT WORLD YOUTH DAY
Thursday, May 08 @ 21:51:48 EDT
(NEW HAVEN, CT) Rafael G. Egües, a student at Auburn University and a graduate of Belen Jesuit Preparatory School in Miami, FL is one of 35 College Knights selected by the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus to represent the Order at World Youth Day in Australia this summer.
"These 35 College Knights from the US and Canada will help run the Love and Life Catechetical Site together with the Sisters of Life. This trip will entail a lot of work on the part of those that have been selected, but it is also a once in a lifetime opportunity, and the graces and blessings will no doubt be abundant," remarked Stephen Walther, College Membership Coordinator for the Knights of Columbus. More than 16,790 college men are active in 120 Knights of Columbus College Councils. "We are proud of the witness and leadership demonstrated on so many college campuses by these brother Knights, and that is why when Pope Benedict declared the theme of this year’s World Youth Day as “You will be my witnesses,” we decided that our college Knights should be participating more actively than ever in World Youth Day," explained Supreme Knight Carl Anderson.

"The Archdiocese of Miami is closing schools and churches, but the Knights of Columbus are coming to the rescue...," remarked NBC 6's Bob Mayer as South Florida's most tenured television newscaster prepared to interview Past Grand Knight Ralph Egües for a South Florida Today segment calling attention to Council 3274's scholarship program. The Knights of Columbus in Coral Gables have offered inner-city youths the opportunity to earn scholarships to attend a Catholic high school for the past nine years. "The current economic conditions do present special challenges, so our response was to add an additional scholarship this year. It has been more difficult raising the needed funds and we appreciate NBC6 giving us this opportunity to tell your viewers about our program." explained Egües who invited viewers to attend the Council's upcoming dinner/dance and silent auction on June 6 at the Council's Hall at 270 Catalonia in Coral Gables or support the Council's scholarship fund directly with tax-deductible donations. Those wishing to purchase tickets or make contributions may do so by calling (305) 445-7365.
