Colleton County issues proclamations honoring preparedness, recovery and historic mission

Colleton County Council unanimously adopted several proclamations at its Sept. 4 meeting. An administrator read a proclamation recognizing September 2026 as National Preparedness Month and honored the volunteer service of the South Carolina State Guard; the council then adopted a proclamation celebrating the 200th anniversary of Saint James Greater Catholic Mission in the Catholic Hill community.

Council also proclaimed September as National Recovery Month and council members and public commenters promoted a community recovery event set for Sept. 26 at the wildlife center from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Administrator remarks and public thanks were offered for community work and longstanding institutions; council members asked for photographs and documentation to accompany the proclamations and to share the recognition with the public.
