The Camden Knights, in partnership with the Central Square Lions and the Central Square Rotary, put on the Syracuse Nationals picnic on the Thursday before the event.  The fundraiser is split evenly between the three groups.  A special thanks goes out to Country Propane for donating all of the propane and a large grill for the event.  This is a great cooperative effort and a fun time for all attendees.  


OUR HISTORY AND HERITAGE

Founded on the principles of charity, unity and fraternity, the Knights of Columbus was established in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Conn., and a group of parishioners. Their intent? To bring financial aid and assistance to the sick, disabled and needy members and their families.

Today, Father McGivney is being considered for sainthood.
