A wide variety of support is offered on a regular basis from this council to those following their holy calling to a spiritual and meaningful life in service to Christ and His church.

 

Bereavement

 

Think of those times you have seen first hand a group of Knights of Columbus dressed in full formal regalia including the 4th Degree Chapeau (hat). Maybe it was at a Catholic funeral. How incredibly moving is it to see the honor shown by a group of Knights for the departed? Imagine the comfort it gives to family members and friends.
