Frequently Asked Questions about the Knights and Council 12008
What exactly are the Knights?
The
Knights
of Columbus is an organization of Catholic men dedicated to
Church, family, country and our fellow knights. Organized in 1882 by
Father Michael J. McGivney, a parish priest in New Haven, CT, the
order has grown to over 1.6 million members in over 12000 councils
following the principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and
Patriotism.
Locally, the Knights are well known for their Annual Thanksgiving HUNGER
WALK, support for VOCATIONS and PRO-LIFE, and
their contributions of time and talent to numerous religious and
civic organizations including Catholic Outreach, Carmelite Monastery
and the Hermitage at Christoval.
In 2002 the Knights around the world donated $128 million to charity
and 60.8 million hours of volunteer service to a broad range of
Church, community, family and youth charities, programs and
activities.
Holy Angels Council 12008 was formed to: Provide support to the Holy
Angels Parish and encourage
members to take an active part in parish
ministries such as lectors, commentators, Eucharistic ministers,
ushers, choirs, and parish council. Also to encourage participation
in parish activities, especially the parish festival, bible-fest,
and all social gatherings to meet other members of the parish
community and form a common bond.
Each individual has a unique talent that can be an asset to his
church, family or community and we would welcome members desiring to
apply that talent in the Knights of Columbus.
