Council 10510

Council Meetings:

Our council meets the first Tuesday of each month. All male members 18 years or older and in good standings with the church are invited to join the Knights of Columbus. We meet the first Tuesday of the month for a general meeting with July and August off to give our knights and their families, time together. Upcoming meetings in 2009 are March 3, April 7 and May 5.

Activities of Council:

St. Peter’s Chili/Soup Cook-Off: Let’s eat drink and be merry, all for a worthy cause. This adult only evening has turned into the major fundraising tool at St. Peter’s. The Knights of Columbus is proud to take part in helping organize and develop this prestigious event with the Parish Council of Catholic Women.

Tootsie Roll Collection: One weekend of the year the Knights collect money at various area locations for mentally handicapped children.

One Rose One Life: This activity professes our commitment to the Culture of Life and our continuous stand against abortion.

One Rose for Motherhood: The Knights of Columbus is proud to honor new mothers and their pro-life example. At the ceremony of baptism, Knights give the mother a long stem rose to show our support of the Rite of Life and our honor of motherhood.

Knights of Columbus Blood Drive: All Knights and parishioners are encouraged to donate blood during the month of December for St. Peter’s. Many Knights and parishioners donate throughout the year at the Community Blood Bank. We have grown to be one of the largest groups to donate in the area.
