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!

Knights of Columbus Host Soup & Stations

Soup & Stations - St Clare Knights of Columbus #9708 Soup and Stations

St. Clare of Assisi Catholic Church has a great tradition of hosting Soup and Stations for parish members and their families.  Each Friday during Lent, the members of one of the Parish Ministries host a meal of meatless soup and appetizers.  This is a great way to get to know your fellow parishioners while enjoying a great meal.  After the meal everyone is invited to Stations of the Cross in the Church.

This week Friday, March 18, 2016, the Knights of Columbus hosted the meal.

The Knights of Columbus stay very active in fundraising events for a wide range of charities.  We also plan social events for members and their families.  Membership is open to all Catholic men who are practicing Catholics and 18 years or older,

If you’d like to join, we’d love to talk to you, just see one of the Knights after Sunday Mass.  Join us !
