E ARE Catholic men building a bridge back to faith. There is much work to be done in this world. Good work. Necessary work. And that’s what the Knights do. Every day.
Assisting the sick and disabled. Protecting those who can’t protect themselves. Whether they are next door or halfway around the world. This is the journey we are on. Our path.
We do it to be better husbands, fathers, sons, neighbors, and Catholics. We invest our time, our effort, and our resources into our values: Charity, Unity, Fraternity, Patriotism.
We come from many places. And backgrounds. And stages in our lives. But we are all of one faith. A fraternity of men striving to better ourselves and our world.
It’s one thing to say who you are. It’s another to live it. To put your values into action. That’s what we do at the Knights of Columbus.
That’s who we are.

Six Honor Guards attended the Festa event at Our Lady of Fatima in Ludlow Sunday, September 3. In attendance were: Stanley Ciukaj, Alberto Matos, John Hurley, Thomas Vyzga, Daniel Therrien and myself. It was a great event!
After the procession, when we were back at the “Police Station” to change out of our uniforms =, Danny let me know, “hey, I think a bird or something got you on the back.” I took my blazer off and I could see wax on the back. After further examination, I found much more on my pant leg.
When I got home, I consulted with Mr. Google and 
my mother-in-law. We followed the steps to clean wax off my uniform. First step was to scrape as much wax at you can with a plastic knife or one of the plastic clips you use to close a loaf of bread. I used the clip and it worked great without damaging the fabric; I highly recommend it.
The next step we had to iron the slacks using a cool iron (not hot) with a cloth or paper towel above and below the fabric. This removed 99% of the wax you see on the image directly above. Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo of the post-ironing stage but I can tell you there were very faint black marks remaining where some of the wax spots were.
The next step was to have the uniform dry cleaned. I ran it over to Stanley Cleaners in Feeding Hills on Friday and they called Monday to say it was ready. I’m happy to say, I don’t see any evidence of wax on the blazer or slacks.
