A Great Evening of Fellowship at MacIntyre’s!

Our council, the Knights of Columbus Council 9708, recently enjoyed a wonderful evening of fellowship and camaraderie at MacIntyre’s Pub & Grill. A group of 15 of our Knights and their spouses gathered to share some fun, food, and drinks.

The highlight of the night was being joined by 12 members from the St. Bernadette council, who joined in the fun! It’s always a blessing to connect with our brother Knights from other councils, strengthening the bonds of fraternity across our area.

Good conversation and great company were shared over delicious pizza and drinks, proving that the Knights’ spirit of fellowship extends well beyond our regular meetings and service events. We look forward to our next get-together!

Mass and Meal: A Delicious Success at St. Clare! 🥳

The Knights of Columbus Council No. 9708 hosted a wonderful Parish Fellowship Dinner on Saturday, August 9th, and it was a resounding success! Held from 5:30 – 7:00 pm at the St. Clare Family Life Center, the event brought parishioners together for a delicious meal and great fellowship.

The dedicated Knights team worked hard to cook and serve over 140 delicious meals, with a fantastic menu that included:

  • Choice of Meats: Pork Ribs, Brisket, Chicken, or a 2-Meat Combo
  • Sides: Potato Salad, Coleslaw, and Baked Beans
  • Drinks: Lemonade and Iced Tea

It was a beautiful evening of community, service, and camaraderie. A big thank you to all the Knights who volunteered their time and talent to make this dinner possible, and to the parishioners who came out to share a meal together.

We look forward to hosting our next fellowship event!
