Rochester, NH – As part of its ongoing Employee Donation of the Month program, Partners Bank is proud to announce that Sean O’Connell, SVP & Chief Information Technology Officer, has selected the Knights of Columbus in Rochester, NH, to receive a $1,000 charitable donation from the Bank.

Each month, Partners Bank empowers one employee to choose a nonprofit or community organization that’s meaningful to them, reflecting the bank’s deep commitment to personal giving and local impact. For the month of July, O’Connell chose the Knights of Columbus for its long-standing dedication to faith-based service, charitable outreach, and community support.

“I personally know several members of the Knights of Columbus, and I’ve always been very impressed by their commitment to community service. Knights are active not only in supporting our local community, but also in making a meaningful impact on a global scale,” said O’Connell. “Over the course of 143 years, they’ve built a legacy defined by compassion and leadership. The Knights of Columbus’s dedication to local food drives, support for families and veterans, and disaster relief efforts were key reasons in my decision.”

The Knights of Columbus is a global Catholic fraternal service organization committed to charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. Locally, the Rochester council supports a range of causes, including food drives, support for veterans, youth programs, and aid to families in need.

“We’re proud to support organizations that matter to our employees and make a lasting impact in the communities we serve,” said Anthony Cataldi, President at Partners Bank. “Sean’s choice reflects the heart of this program – empowering our team members to give where it means the most.”

Partners Bank’s Employee Donation of the Month program is just one way the Bank puts its values into action – encouraging employee engagement, building stronger communities, and supporting local nonprofits throughout Maine and New Hampshire.
