Are you interested in helping those in need, serving your parish, growing in your faith and having exclusive access to top-rated insurance protection for your family? Then the Knights of Columbus is the organization for you!

As a member of the Knights of Columbus, a man does not only strengthen his faith in the here and now. Through his support of community and Church, he will form friendships with his brother Knights that can last a lifetime, and he can do his part to make a difference in our parish, our community and our world for generations to follow.

The Saint Catherine Labouré Council doesn’t seek to take time away from you or your family, but rather to offer you quality time together by helping others, and being with men who share your Catholic faith. We’ll be conducting a membership drive after all the Masses this weekend. We invite all men of the parish over the age of 18 to stop by our table in the narthex after Mass to learn more about our Council or use the form below to contact us.

Their current high value needs include:

• men’s boxer or boxer brief underwear (medium or large)
• men’s t-shirts (large, x-large, any color)
• socks (the #1 most requested item)
• bath towels and wash cloths
• men’s deodorant
• soap bars (not liquid)
• toothpaste
• toothbrushes
• toilet paper

Items may be dropped in the narthex beginning Saturday, June 11 through Sunday, July 31.

Cash donations are also accepted in the parish office or in the collection basket. Please write “Catholic Worker House” on your envelope if making a cash donation. As always, thank you for whatever you are able to do to help those in need.
