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.
