Knights of Columbus – Council 12025Congratulations to Anthony (Cajetan) our Knight of the Month for April. Anthony is a 4th Degree Knight for over 10 years. His dedication to the church and the Knights overflows. We recently were informed that he will be leaving the area. We will miss your smile and the example you set for us all. God bless you, Brother!
We are humbled by the fantastic support we received from the parishioners of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish! What an amazing turnout! We sure hope you enjoyed it! We sold everything we had! These fundraisers allow us to support many great charities as well as church and school events! We all hope you have a wonderful Easter season!
Knights joined the afternoon crew from Our Lady of Lourdes at Rise Against Hunger packaging food to go Haiti and Madagascar. They had to stop us early because we met our 2000 meal goal so fast! It feels so good doing this kind of work!
Busy day! A Day for Him is always heartwarming! To see so many people come out to do Christ’s work on Earth, is AWESOME! We’re so glad we could kick it off with a delicious pancake breakfast. Thanks to everyone who came out and ALL who donate their time, talent or treasure for this work.

What do you do on a Friday during March Madness and Lent? You fire up the big screen and enjoy some Fish Madness, of course!
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to join in the fun! We also had a special celebration—Happy Birthday to Brother John! And a big congratulations to Beth, the woman who pushed our band of Brothers beyond our comfort zone and brought some flair to the game. We were honored to award her an Honorary Knight membership—well deserved! Lastly, a big shoutout to Austin and his crew of OLL 8th graders for all their hard work. Fantastic job, everyone!
Big things happening in the Council last night!! SEVEN men became Knights pledging vows of charity, unity and fraternity. Congratulations to Brothers Jeremy, Jack, John (Jack), our Seminarian- Ben, Dwayne, Ric, and Ian! State, Regional and District officers were on hand for the ceremony AND to present the Council with our DOUBLE STAR COUNCIL award. Thanks to ALL the Brothers who came out for this very special evening.
From the early set-up crew to the clean-up crew, it took a village to pull this one off. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it happen.
Congratulations to Thomas Enzweiler for being elected Knight of the Month for February. Although Tom just became a Knight one year ago and is one of our youngest Knights, he has been one of our most active members. He became an officer and is our current Outside Guard. He regularly attends the Officer and Directors meetings, checks membership cards for authenticity, and assists the Grand Knight. He has participated in many of our functions including a Fish Fry, lunch after the 11:30 Mass, A Day for Him breakfast, the 70th Anniversary Picnic and the Catholic School Week breakfast. He is a member of the Adoration Team. He has assisted with the Halloween Trunk or Treat and Keep Christ in Christmas programs as well. He is married to Megan and has four beautiful children. He is truly the Catholic gentleman that we all strive to be. Way to go Brother Tom!
