Website for the Archbishop Elder Council of the Knights of Columbus
Knights (and their families) participated in Madeira’s Independence Day Parade on Monday, July 3rd, 2023. Everyone had a great time and PGK Phil Motz with his precision driving skills apparently gave the Shriners a run for their money!
The Knights of Columbus have an important initiative called ASAP – Aid and Support After Pregnancy. Abp. Elder Council have contributed to this effort through a donation (that included a $100 donation by the Supreme Council) and visit to the Mater Filius Queen City Maternity Home.
For more information about the ASAP program, see the following link:

Our 4th Annual Chili Cookoff was a success. Fifty-nine people (7-Priests, 11-Novices, and 41-Brothers and family members) participated in the festivities.
We had new Brothers (either new Knights or transfers into the Council) and some Brothers we have not seen for a while. Worthy Past Grand Knight Brother John Holden arrived with a pot of chili.
Provincial Prior, Fr. Allen Moran, O.P., Pastor and Worthy Chaplain, Fr. John Paul Walker, O.P., and Br. Peter Goyette, O.P. were the official judges. They had to judge 13 different chilis.
The competition was stiff, but in the end:
A special thanks to Worthy Brothers Jim Pappalardo and Gerald Shannon for planning and leading this special event. The afternoon was a wonderful example of putting our faith in action by building fraternity and family, in solidarity with our Priests and Novices.
Abp. Elder Council had a very successful Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, January 15th. Here are some photos we’d like to share demonstrating the good time had by all!
