Our mission for the Knights is to support and stand in
solidarity with our Priest and Nuns, and our Deacons. We stand as one
with the Priest. The Knights of Columbus is a fraternal organization.
1. We are always looking for good men to join our organization the
requirements are: Be a Catholic Gentleman in GOOD STANDING with the Holy
See (which translates into, attend Mass, receive holy communion,
confirmed in the church), you have to be 18 years of age or older, you
do not have to be member of St. John Neumann to join our council (but it
does help since our meetings are at the parish). If you have any
questions about becoming a member of the Knights of Columbus, please
contact any one of the Knights and we will provide you with the Form to
fill out and provide further information.
2. We are doing the annual state raffle. Please see a Knight to purchase
your tickets. Half of the funds we raise go to the Parish.
3. Our meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month. The first meeting of the month is the business meeting and you have to be a member to take part in this meeting. The second meeting is our social meeting which starts at 6:30 pm on the 4th Thursday of the month, all members are encouraged to attend our social meeting along with their families and guests.
