The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic organization, with more than 1.7 million members around the world.

Last year, Knights donated more than 68 million hours of volunteer time and $143 million to charity. It is currently celebrating the 125th anniversary of its founding in 1882. It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young people

 

We are a Catholic Organization: Holy Trinity Council serves and works  closely with St. John the Evangelist’s Parish and Holy Trinity’s Parish.  However, we do have members from other parishes. We sing in the choirs, we are members of Parish Councils, Religious Education Teacher; we are Ushers, Lectors, we even serve as Extraordinary Ministers of the Holy Eucharist.  In short, we serve our pastors as much or as long as our pastors want us to serve them.  We hold a Memorial Mass in November for our deceased Brothers. All of our widows are invited. We are part of the Keep Christ in Christmas Campaign and we sell Christmas Cards. When a brother is called to God, we gather at the funeral home, and with the permission of the family, Pray the Rosary for eternal repose of his soul. The Rosary is usually led by our Grand Knight.  To promote the vocations to the priesthood and religious life, our council  supports Five (5) seminarians with an annual stipend.

 

We are a FAMILY Organization: Our calendar is full of social events. In February, we hold our Ladies Appreciation Dinner Dance. This function is exclusively for members and a function in which the men treat the ladies! Children are left with sitters or family and the men do all the work. Women are not allowed in the kitchen that evening. We even entertain our women that evening with a dancing chorus line.  In the Spring we hold our Annual  Valentine’s Dance.  In September we have our Annual  Family Picnic, which proves to be fun for all,  with rides, games and crafts.  In October we hold our Annual  Oktoberfest, which is open to the public, with  various demonstrations, games, rides, crafts,  authentic German Food, Drink and more.  And we top off December with our  Annual Children’s and Adult’s Christmas  parties, with Santa in attendance.  Holy Trinity Council does several events  through out the year with our youth. Besides our Children’s Christmas party, we hold an Essay  Contest each year for 8th graders. Two winners are awarded with a certificate and $ 250.00 savings bonds at the graduation ceremony.  Holy Trinity Council, each year holds Fish Dinners in conjunction with Lent. These dinners are held on Friday nights to offer our parish family the opportunity to eat as a family.
