“But if we live our lives in the light, as He is in the light, we are in union with one another.”
(1 John 1:7)
The Knights of Columbus order, Council 10760, has four distinguishing characteristics – Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism – and is a very lively and active organization at St. John.
It serves the parish in many ways both financially and spiritually – making financial donations to other Ministries, for example Christian Formation and the Youth Ministry; providing the new Baptismal Font; presenting a framed portrait of the Holy Family to the newly baptized, a rosary to First Communion celebrants and a crucifix to those being confirmed; involvement with the Boy Scout Troop; saying the Rosary before Mass; sponsoring periodic Blood Drives. The Knights raise funds through an annual yards sales and pancake breakfasts, taking the pulse of the parish in the process by engaging with parishioners.
