Visit to Calvary Hospital

On August 25, 2025 We made a check presentation to Calvary Hospital in the Bronx.  Here is what they posted on their Facebook page.
Calvary extends a warm welcome and thank you to The Knights of Pythias from the Domain of New York, who visited with us recently and presented Calvary with a very generous donation. We are grateful for your enduring support and contributions to our community over the last 35 years and deeply thankful for the ways you have brought the Knights’ values of Friendship, Charity, and Benevolence to life at Calvary. The Knights were founded after the Civil War to heal the wounds of conflict and unite people of goodwill — a mission which is as relevant and meaningful as ever. Pictured, from left to right, are Knights brothers Michael Sukenick, Roger Siegel, Bryan Hoffman, and Harvey Rosenshein with Calvary President Michael J. Fosina, MPH, FACHE, center. We are honored to have your steadfast support. Thank you, Knights of Pythias.
