KNIGHTS CANCEL PLANNED WITCH EVENT
A local council of the Knights of Columbus on Long Island has cancelled a "witch's festival" that was to take place on October 29 in the Knights' Lindenhurst hall.
The council's chaplain, Monsignor Daniel S. Hamilton, of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Lindenhurst, confirmed the cancellation and said that the event had been misrepresented as a trade show to the Knights, who are independent of the parish and took action after an item about it appeared on Spirit Daily. It was to be sponsored by an organization called "Crescent Moongoddess," which reserved the hall.
Last year a similar event was planned and then cancelled for a Knights hall in Salem, Massachusetts.

NOT AGAIN: VAMPIRE BALL WAS TO BE HELD IN KNIGHTS' HALL; NOW CANCELLED
Not again! Last year we brought you the unnerving news that the Knights of Columbus in Salem, Massachusetts, were allowing a group of witches to hold Halloween-related events -- including enactment of a ritual -- in one of their halls. Following that publicity, the event was relocated. But now the Knights are apparently allowing a "Vampires and Victims Ball" on October 29. At least that's what appears to be the case from an online ad that says it will feature "New England's vampire Queen Tracy Devine" rising from her coffin "calling all of October's children to partake in the celebration of this most dark and magical season... Join your vampire brothers and sisters, drink in the morbidly romantic atmosphere, feel the vampire's kiss." It then says the event will take place from 8 p.m. to midnight at "Knights of Columbus Hall, 94 Washington Square, Salem, Massachusetts." Let's hope this is all one big error. But just in case you get lost, it's "across from the Common."
Update:
To the editor:
Regarding your recent story -- "Not Again: Vampire Ball to be held in
Knights' Hall?" -- please inform your readers that the "Vampire and Victims
Ball 2004" will NOT be held at the Knights of Columbus hall in Salem,
Massachusetts.
The hall had been rented by a member of the Knights of Columbus who
operates a catering business, on behalf of a group that told him only that
they wanted to hold a "Halloween party." When the Knight who rented the
facility became aware of the actual nature of the event, he cancelled the
hall rental.

Hillary must've had a schedule conflict.
the "member" should have known better.
I know a couple of caterers who are knights.
It strikes me as a bad idea to anger guys who play with swords on a regular basis.
"Crescent Moongoddess"
--- Are you sure they were witches and not burkha wearers?
Good for the KofC!
This takes idiocy to a new level.
Was it cancelled due to unforseen circumstances?
"entertainement [sic] will include the following: leaders, teachers, covens, merchants selling their crafts, healers, tarot, stone, palmistry readings...."
You'd think they would have known this was coming....
i bet SAMAMANTH want be there-i have one hell of a black cat-thinks he is a chocolate lab(RAISED BY ONE)-wonder if they need some extras
shame on them for even considering this rental.
It seems the devil gains more ground if these satanic events occur on more sacred grounds. i.e. a K of C rather than a secular hall.
read my tagline
"You think they would have known this was coming"
Yep...Crescentmoongoddess should have given them a clue.
How easily fooled we are...
