' Join Us Today ' St. Philip Knights of Columbus – Council 9794 Who We Are We are brothers, a network of men in communities around the world dedicated to doing good in the service of God and our neighbor. The Knights of Columbus, Council 9794 at St. Philip, invites all men over the age of 18, and are Catholics in good standing, to join the Knights. The KCs enable good men to become better Catholic gentlemen, engaged in service to the Parish, Church, and community. There is no better way to show love and compassion than by helping those in need, a call we show daily through charity. Our success worldwide results from our commitment to unity, supporting one another as a fraternity of over two million members strong with over 15,000 councils in 17 countries. We also regularly meet with other KofC Councils in our Galveston-Houston Assembly. We enjoy our fellowship and fundraising efforts, and we take pride in participating in parish ministries. We all share a bond of patriotism and many of our members served honorably in the service of USA! What to expect when you join We meet monthly at St. Philip at 7pm on the 3rd Thursday to plan our projects and review parish needs. Many men joined KofCs by invitation of members who serve as ushers, lay ministers, choir members, and sacristans. Your contribution to our Catholic men’s fraternal team would be very much appreciated with your unique gifts and support. What we do for . . Parish, community Here is a listing of a few of the charities and donations that our St. Philip Council supports: Humble Birthright, Pro-life initiatives, St. Philip Confirmation Retreat, Catholic Youth Convention (AYC), Priest and Seminarian support, Parish Spring Picnic, Campus Maintenance & Improvements, High School scholarships, and co-sponsored projects with other St. Philip ministries. To assist and financially support these local activities, the Knights hold several different fundraisers and events. We have our annual pork rib and chili sales, parish breakfasts and dinners, Lenten dinners, and an annual golf tournament. With the support and guidance of Father Barker, the Knights Council 9794 will continue to respond to the needs of our parish and community. We are also very proud of our “turnouts” in support of events such as Confirmations, Holy Week, funerals, and other occasions. Fellowship: Time & talent to consider Knights of Columbus are especially known for fellowship. Contributing your leadership, spiritual, and hands-on skills for a few hours each month will be very memorable. Join us as we fire-up the BBQ pit with morning coffee & donuts preparing to cook our legendary ribs. Enrich our liturgy and special event “turn-outs” along with fellow Knights. Scripture sums-up the talents needed for new members; you can rest assured you will be welcome and that we need your unique support. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. [Eph 2:10] How to Join It has never been easier to join the Knights of Columbus, and become proud of your fraternal service as a Catholic gentleman!
