The Columbian Award recognizes excellence in a council’s programming and charitable outreach. A council must conduct four major program and multiple supporting programs in the areas of FAITH, FAMILY,COMMUNITY and LIFE. Our deep involvement in the St Mary’s Parish and our Community of Franklin made it possible for us to service our Community and achieve the Colombian Award. Financial support of those in need thru our support of the St Vincent DePaul Society, holding community events such as the Free throw program and Scholarship program for the High School Seniors, Pies for Senior Center at thanksgiving time, Rosary, Stations of the Cross , Memorial Day Mass are just a few of the programs Council 1847 did this past year to be recognized by Supreme Council. Congratulations Sacred Heart Council 1847 Job Well Done.
