Ellen Zdansky, State Director of the Catholic Union of Texas (KJT), and Rosalie Bohuslav, local society president, presented Bishop Wm. Michael Mulvey two checks and a cookbook on March 4. One of the checks will go toward priests education and the other toward the priests retirement fund.

KJT was founded in 1889 by a group of men of Czech descent. The initials “KJT” stand for the name of the society in the Czech language, “Katolicka Jednota Texaska.” Membership is open to all Christians.

The KJT’s mission is to provide fraternal, financial and insurance programs for its members and to promote family relationships through fraternal activities of its societies and religious programs of the Catholic Church. Volunteerism among its societies for parish, community and civic related causes is also encouraged.
