The Knights of Columbus Council #14186 is a fraternal organization here at Our Lady, established in 2006. Some of the charitable activities sponsored by our K of C are bimonthly pancake breakfasts, kettle corn at various parish and community events, and an annual “Food for the Holidays” Golf Outing fundraiser. They also co-sponsor events with other parish committees such as The Our Lady Feast Day, the Fall Fest and a Scout Clambake fundraiser. In addition, they sponsor the Religious Education annual subscription to the Diocesan Media Library and other projects of the Religious Education Department.
Since its 1882 inception by Father Michael J. McGivney in New Haven, Connetticut, charity has been the first principle of the Knights of Columbus. In 2016, Knights worldwide donated over 75 million volunteer hours and more than $177 million to countless causes. Interested in finding more out about the Knights at Our Lady or want to join us? We're always looking for more members! Contact Grand Knight Herb Gieseler for more information:
