Tempus Fugit.  We are now into the 2010/2011 Fraternal Year. Do you know who your Grand Knight is?

MEET OUR NEW OFFICERS, elected for 2010/2011 and learn how to contact each by email. In the interest of privacy, all telephone numbers have been removed from our web site.

The COMMITTEE  CHAIRMEN page has been updated. Check them out, and let them know you are ready to volunteer to help. Yes, it really is OK to volunteer.  This isn't the Army.

THE COUNCIL AND PARISH ACTIVITIES CALENDAR is available to assist you in keeping current on scheduled events, meetings and liturgical services involving not only your KofC Council, but also Parish spiritual, organizational and social events.

Keep watching the section on REGATTA PARKING. The Fall Season will be here soon. You won't want to miss out on all the fun!!

The COUNCIL MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION page provides organizational updates on many issues, deadlines, programs, procedures and opportunities available through the Council.

Take advantage of RELATED LINKS to obtain access to unlimited resources available at the click of the mouse. Learn about the saints and angels, find a useful guide to preparing for confession, as well as many other very educational locations.

We will have a periodic FEATURED REFRESHER to aid in rejuvenating and expanding our knowledge base of our Catholic principles and practices. Each feature will require minimal time to review, and with little effort, we can increase and “refresh” some of our fundamental religious understanding.  This first feature is about Father Michael McGivney and the Knights of Columbus’ current efforts toward his canonization.
