Members of  Knights of Columbus Council 5959 at Blessed Sacrament Church in Martinsville, NJ, recently visited Matheny to deliver a donation of $720 and to invite Matheny president Steve Proctor to attend a future Knights meeting to talk about Matheny’s programs and services. The plan is to open the meeting to the community at large.

Thanks to the Knights for their wonderful support of Matheny and for their efforts to spread the message about what we do to a wider audience!

Matheny adult patient Chris Ryan was inducted into the Knights of Columbus of the St. Elizabeth Far Hills and St. Brigid Peapack parish community chapter last year. So it was only natural that he would be on hand to greet representatives of the Knights when they visited Matheny recently to make their annual contribution, which this year totaled $2,000.

The Knights of Columbus Council 12700 from Our Lady of Mt. Virgin Church in Middlesex has been a long-time supporter of Matheny.

During the holiday season, one of the Council’s members, Kevin Mazza, left, visited Matheny to present Steve Proctor, president, with a check for $1,537.
