As all of you know, Supreme's Aid and Support After Pregnancy (ASAP) program has been an outstanding success over the last two years. This program enables Council donations to pregnancy centers and maternal homes to be supplemented with matching funds from Supreme up to a certain dollar amount. Many of you have enthusiastically embraced this program, driving Florida to #1 in the Order in FY 2022-2023 and currently #5 in this Fraternal Year.
Supreme has recently come out with a Jurisdictional (statewide) ASAP "Pass the Hat" incentive, whereby Supreme will match 25% of the collective contributions of Councils up to $50,000 by the end of May to pregnancy centers and maternal homes that the State Council designates. We are asking all Councils to participate in this short-term fundraising project. Here is how it will work.

Destin, Florida – The Emerald Coast Council of the Knights of Columbus #11893 held "2022 It's Fish Fry Friday" in a different location this year. The 4 Fish Frys were held at Resurrection Catholic Church Parish Hall in Miramar Beach, FL in 2022. THIS IS A CHANGE from previous years when they were held at Corpus Christi Catholic Church Parish Hall in Destin, FL for many years. Corpus Christi has an exciting expansion and renovation for the church that is underway creating the need to utilize the Parish Hall for Mass and all parish events during the project. Fish Frys were held on January 14, 28 and February 11, 25. Over 1,700 dinners were sold. This was a Southern Fish Fry – complete with "all the fixins." The cost was $12 ($6 for children 6-12).

Dear Brother Knights and beloved families of the Florida State Council,
I share with you the words of our Holy Father and I think they are even more meaningful at this time of pandemic in our world.  Written before the world outbreak that closed our churches to public worship and gave us social media and the internet as a means of witnessing the sacraments, the timely and perhaps prophetic message is relevant.  Time for prayer for vocations, time for recognizing our vocations and time for giving again to financially support vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Please be generous with your time talent and treasure. Forward donations of any amount from you, your family, council or assembly made payable to 'Florida K of C Charities Inc. Holy Apostles Fund'.
