Local Knights Award Scholarship

Knights of Columbus John V. O’Reilly Council #3255, Holy Name of Mary Church, recently awarded scholarships to two graduating seniors of the parish. Recipients of this year’s awards were Jordan LaRue, who attends Montrose Area High School, and Lucas Mack, a senior at Mountain View High School. Jordan has been accepted to Mansfield University, where she will study Communications and minor in Pre-Law. Lucas Mack plans to attend the Pennsylvania College of Technology where he will study Diesel Technology.

"Jordan and Lucas were chosen to receive this year’s scholarships because of their many years of faithful service to the Holy Name of Mary Church," said Grand Knight Ken Janoski. "We are proud to honor these students, and we also offer our best wishes to the all of the graduating seniors in our church and community."

These scholarships were made possible through fundraising efforts by members of the council. The Knights invite you to purchase a homemade, freshly baked pie for your Memorial Day Picnic during the Montrose Sidewalk Sales on Saturday, May 29. The Knights’ pie stand will be located in front of Montrose Sporting Goods on Public Avenue. Proceeds of this sale benefit the Knights Scholarship Fund. Those wishing to donate pies may leave them at Montrose Sporting Goods before 7 p.m. on Friday, or by 9 a.m. on Saturday. For more information, call Grand Knight Ken Janoski at 278-2424.
