Invitation to Parish Men Join the Knights of Columbus
The Knights of Columbus, council 9794 at St. Philip, invites all Catholic men over the age of 18 and in good standing with the Catholic Church to join. We serve the needs of our parish community. We are Catholic gentlemen committed to the ideals of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism. We take pride in participating in other parish ministries.
Please talk to one of our Knights who serve as ushers, lectors, EOMs, sacristans, and choir members. Faith and Hope are common among us as we take action towards Charity in our fund-raising projects.
Of course, you all will notice our Unity as we work together to make our projects successful.
We are also very proud of our “turnouts” in support of events such as Confirmation, Holy Week, and/or Funerals. Our Fraternity, meeting with other K of C Councils in our Galveston-Houston Assembly is especially rewarding.
We are blessed to have many military veterans in the KCs who served the USA honorably, and we all support Patriotism every opportunity we have.
The KCs enable good men to become better Catholics, engaging in service to the Parish, Church, and community.
Joining has never been easier. Contact Grand Knight Ray Kessler (rkessler@stphilip.cc or 832-644-8078), for more information.
