Knights of Saint Columba Horse Racing Night

The Knights of Saint Columba in Ormskirk are holding a fun family horse racing night at St. Anne's Parish Centre on Friday 25th May 2012.

Unlike your typical video racing, the Knights have corralled a number of mechanically driven horses, who will 'gallop' down the track to the finishing line.  The race night made up of six races, each with six horses will raise funds for the Knights' benevolent fund.

Tickets are £5 each or £10 for a family ticket.  There will be a licensed bar. The evening starts at 7.30pm.

Ticket enquiries, please telephone: Mark Condon: 01695 573614, Tony Gill: 01695 573358, Peter Terry: 01695 571723

Who are the Knights?

The Knights of St Columba are an Order of Catholic Laymen dedicated to the service of the Church and fellow man.

The organisation, which is non-political and essentially democratic, exists to support the mission of the Catholic Church and at the same time to work for the spiritual and material good of its members and their families.

In accordance with the Social Teachings of the Catholic Church, members will diligently work for the moral and social welfare of our country and in particular to help young people develop in the likeness of Christ.  Members of the Order will strive to achieve these aims through the fundamental virtues of Charity, Unity and Fraternity.

The K.S.C. is not a secret society. The Order is completely open and potential members may attend meetings.

Admission ceremonies often take place in Church during Mass.
