Habitat

The Knights of Columbus at Queenship of Mary Church in Plainsboro, NJ demonstrate Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism in all we do for the parish and the community.

We had a successful day in Hightstown on November 3, 2018 at the Habitat For Humanity site.  We helped install windows and doors on the homes as well as wrap the homes in Tyvek paper.  A small team helped build the scaffold and footings for the scaffold.  Everyone got to work!

Lots of Mud.  It was fun sloshing thru the mud.  It felt like we were kids again!
