Welcome to Kirkwood Council 2117 of the Knights of Columbus.
Council 2117 was the proud recipient of the Knights of Columbus Star Council Award for fraternal year 2023/2024. Earning a Star Council Award is the ultimate recognition of a high preforming Knights of Columbus unit and the goal to which every council strives each year.
To earn the award, a Council is required to exceed the annual membership, insurance, programming, and overall operation goals set by Supreme, which is a significant challenge to accomplish.
This 2023/2024 Star Council Award represents the second straight year that Kirkwood Council 2117 has achieved this award under the Grand Knight leadership of PGK Keith Beardslee.
NEW FUNDRAISER COMING AUGUST 23 - MOUSE RACES!
Kirkwood Council 2117 is excited to announce a new event coming this summer.
We will be hosting a fun filled evening of socializing and partaking in competitive mouse racing with friendly wagers to keep it interesting.
Mark your calendar for this inaugural event to be held at St Raymond/St Elizabeth as a fundraiser for the Council 2117 charities.
Pre-sale ticket and sponsorship opportunity information will posted here soon, so come back often and check for updates.
