Knights of Columbus Council #9337
They call themselves the Knights of Columbus - "Knights" to emphasize chivalriry's ideals of charity and support for Church and state, and "Columbus" as a reminder that Catholics had been the backbone and bulwark of America's growth and greatness from the very beginning. It is the world's largest lay Catholic Family service organization dedicated to works of Charity and Personal Service.
The goals of the organization are:
- To aid one another in times of sickness or death, by means of a simple insurance plan so that their wives and children would not face abject poverty.
- To strengthen themselves and each other in the Faith.
- To strengthen families and family life.
- To be a strong pilar of support for their priests and bishops.
- To be of service to Church and community by coming to the aid of those most in need in society.

Summer Aid Food Collection/Knights of Columbus:
The Knights will pass out collection bags the weekends of 5/24 and 5/31, and collecting food the weekends of 5/31 and 6/7. When children are out of school for the summer, many of them, miss a breakfast and lunch. With the economy, oftentimes groceries are sacrificed for other things. Please continue to be as generous as possible to those in need in our community.
