Join us at the 43rd National Kolping Convention!

September 9th through 11th, 2022 in Cincinnati, Ohio

Starting Friday evening, we will be able to see old friends and make new ones as we begin in the Embassy Suites Hotel atrium before moving to a private room. Saturday will begin with Mass at the hotel. Board members and delegates will have their meetings at the hotel while the non-delegates will enjoy events scheduled around the city. Then, in the evening, everyone will be transported to the Kolping Center on the outskirts of Cincinnati for dinner, dancing, and the presentation of awards. We will close the convention on Sunday, starting with a block-and-a-half walk to attend Mass at the historic Mother of God Church — be sure to bring your flags! — and conclude with a 2-hour riverboat lunch cruise on the Ohio River.

Kolping Aid for Ukraine

The KOLPING aid for Ukraine roll! With a lot of courage, Monica, Eduard and Cornelius from KOLPING Romania brought the first aid supplies across the Ukrainian border, including clothing, medicine and food that are urgently needed on site. In the social kitchen of the Kolping Family Czernowitz, the food is already being cooked together. A total of 350 hot meals are supposed to go out there today to feed hungry people. And the aid supplies from Romania have also already arrived at other final recipients, reports Vasyl Savka, Managing Director of KOLPING Ukraine. The night was also quiet, there were no siren alarms and the people in Chernivtsi could finally sleep peacefully. Meanwhile, KOLPING Poland is happy about an extremely generous gift: The manager of a transport company handed over a Sprinter to the Association for Ukraine Emergency Aid, which offers plenty of space for relief supplies and 18 refugees. Thank you for this valuable logistical support!
