Thank you from the Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus would like to thank St Mary’s Parishioners for generously donating toward Birth Choice’s new Esaote ultrasound machine, which will impact countless lives. As a token of our appreciation, we would like to invite you to attend a dedication and blessing ceremony for the new machine conducted by Fr. Dennis Schenkel, with the local Knights of Columbus Chapter #1101

The ceremony will take place on Wednesday, March 25th, at 4:00 PM at Birth Choice in Jackson. The event is free and open to the public, and tours of our clinic will follow the ceremony.

The $52,000 ultrasound machine was purchased with designated funds raised in under a year. The local Knights of Columbus Chapter #1101 raised $26,000 for the new machine, and the national Knights of Columbus organization matched their donations with an additional $26,000 for a total of $52,000 raised. This contribution is part of a massive national effort, with the Knights of Columbus having purchased over 2,000 machines for pregnancy centers through July 2025.
