Preservation of the unique collection in the Columbus Chapel took a big step forward last winter when the security system was replaced with a more efficient one with support from the Knights of Columbus. The Pennsylvania Knights previously supported a number of projects at the Columbus, including installation of two lamp posts, one in memory of the late State Deputy Joseph Yourish who was instrumental in bringing together the State Knights with the Columbus Chapel. Col. Lionel Bassett of Our Lady of Victory parish in State College now serves as the Pennsylvania Knights representative on the Centre County Columbus Celebration board aiding and advising the Museum. |
