All members please try to attend our general meetings. Your input is important to the growth and development of present and future programs so that we will continue to be a relevant supporting force within our parish and communities and keep our council thriving well into the future. That being said,

May God bless you and the many works of the Knights of Columbus, and Illuminate your paths as ambassadors to his kingdom.

To all Brother Knights and Ladies of our Council, Juliette and I wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day.
