Matheny Medical and Educational Center adult patient Chris Ryan was inducted into the Knights of Columbus of the St. Elizabeth Far Hills and St. Brigid Peapack parish community chapter last year, so it was only natural that he would be on hand to greet representatives of the Knights when they visited Matheny recently to make their annual contribution, which this year totaled $2,000.

Matheny is a special hospital and educational facility in Peapack for children and adults with medically complex developmental disabilities. The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic fraternal organization.
