We are beyond proud to announce that 4th Degree Knight- Bob Joyce, has been selected to be the Knight of the Month for July. He joined the K of C in 1967. The pictures are just a sample of the love and dedication that Bob has for the Knights. Every year since joining our Council, he has poured his heart and soul into all he does, usually while bringing Jan along for the ride. We Love you, Bob! Congratulations.
A big THANKS to all the Knights who participated in the Blood Drive! You really gave a part of yourselves to save lives!

The 2025-26 Officers were installed and the new Directors were introduced last night.

Our new Officers and Directors will be led by our new Grand Knight- Matthew Handley . Thank you for stepping up to this challenge! Big thanks to our newest Trustee and PGK- Reed Murphy and his wife Beth for their dedication to the Council over the last two years. Double Star Council two years in a row.. Phenomenal effort!! You have both set the bar pretty high! Finally thank you to our Chaplain- Rev. Dr. Ken Oguzie for the message to consider what the words “Worthy” and “Brother” truly mean to the Knights. The joy he brings is contagious! May God continue to guide us in our work, this year and always.
The wonderful Sr. Shea inspired not only the Knights but all of our Our Lady of Lourdes Parish community to rise up and assist homeless children in Kenya. Great job everyone! A special shout out to Max and Full Fat Cow Tallow for some amazing Tallow cooked fries! I’ve cooked a few fries with the Knights and these were the best!
We welcomed two new Brothers today- Jesse D. & Brian P to our Council. What a great evening of fellowship! We can’t wait to start serving Christ with you. Vivat Jesus Thanks to our Regional DD and State Membership Director and all our Brothers for coming out! If you check out ALL the pictures, you will receive a special treat.
Congratulations 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 pray for the repose of Pope Francis’s soul while giving thanks for the legacy he leaves behind him as the first pope from the Americas.
He strove to be a humble shepherd who led with compassion and unwavering faith. His dedication to the Gospel by always seeking to serve the poorest of the poor inspired millions, calling us to mercy, service, and deeper trust in Jesus Christ.
As we pray for his soul, let us also reflect on his legacy of hope and unity. May his words and witness continue to guide us on our journey of faith.
May the soul of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, our faithful Pope Francis, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
