The Knights of Columbus Council 9708’s blend of service and fellowship on Saturday, September 6, 2025, was a resounding success!
Our dedicated volunteers started the day at the Houston Food Bank (Portwall location). We always have a great time serving the community there, and this day was no exception! We focused on essential tasks: sorting cans and dry goods, boxing up food, placing them on pallets, and wrapping it all in plastic. It’s a great way to tangibly contribute to giving back to our community.
After our impactful morning of service, we gathered for fellowship at St. Arnold’s Brewery. Knights and family members connected, sharing laughs and camaraderie over food and beverages. It truly was a fun event and a perfect way to celebrate a job well done!
Thank you to everyone who participated in this annual tradition of service and brotherhood!

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.
