Knights of Columbus

Our Mission is to provide men of our parish an opportunity to live out their Faith through acts of charity and service to our parishioners and local community. 

Charitable service is the core commitment of our council members and the primary way we are able to demonstrate our faith and act as Jesus has commanded. The activities and service we participate in are to support our parish priest, Father John Pinto, parishioners and our local community. We encourage men of our parish who desire to answer the call of Jesus to join us and share some of their time to assist with our charitable activities. 

To support parishioner fellowship we provide a pancake breakfast several times throughout the year. This is one of our primary fundraising activities in which we ask for donations for the breakfast meal. We also now offer a coffee hour to allow parishioners to gather and share in fellowship after our 11:00 am Sunday mass. Funds raised through donations are used to support our charitable activities. 

Through our Faith In Action programs we support a number of charitable activities in our parish and community. Our longest running program has been the Vocation Fund Program from which we provide financial support for seminarian education and training in our diocese. For the past 10 years we have provided $1500 annually to support young men in their call to the priesthood. Through our Food for Families program we offer our time and resources to support the parish Community Cupboard and the Mana Ministry. Combined with parishioner donations of food items and our Knights time and resources we assist in maintaining the supplies in the Community Cupboard, we prepare lunch for the homeless at the Door is Open through our Mana Ministry and support Birthright through our Aid and Support after Pregnancy Program. 

We actively support the Legion of Mary in the recitation of the Rosary at weekday mass and assist Father John during the Adoration of the Eucharist. During each Lenten season we assist in leading the Stations of the Cross and provide a small meal afterwards for fellowship. 

We have additional Faith in Action programs we continue to develop to support our parishioners. We hope the men of our parish will come forward to assist us in our mission in assisting others. As more men join our council, our efforts will be multiplied to assist many more people. If you are one of the men of our parish or know of one who wishes to be part of an active faith driven group of men, come and join our efforts to provide for others.
