A glowing past and a bright future.
Our council was chartered on April 3rd 1984. Joe Bukowski a Past Grand Knight who moved from Chicago to Bartlett collaborated with Fr Jerry Klug to form a council at St Peter Damian. Bob Sieverding a PGK from Streamwood served as the first Financial Secretary.
Besides our charitable activities, the Knights also participated in many fraternal activities both as fund raisers and just for fun. The Knights have put on fish fry's, pancake breakfasts and spaghetti dinners. We hosted Christmas parties for the kids and Christmas Dinners for the adults, Ladies appreciation brunches ( where we learned the ladies preferred going to Villa Olivia over the men cooking for them), and outings to the DuPage County Fair, and the Chicago Wolves. Our annual outing to Kane County Cougars has been a highlight for 33 years and counting.
We participated in KC bowling tournaments all over the United States and Canada, as well as KC gold outings, at one time even sponsoring our own golf outing. Our annual bowling fund raiser was attended by people fran all across the area. This year we even had an outing to local shooting range. Council members have a wide range of interests and enjoy doing many things together.
We have had the honor of serving many pastors including:
Fr Jerry Klug
Fr Bill Lupo
Fr John Murray
Fr Tom Hoffman
Fr Walter Takuski
Fr Chris Ciomek
Our pastors know when they need assistance for anything they can turn to the Knights and we'll be there for them.
We've been blessed with many good men who have stepped up to take the helm as Grand Knights, including:
