WHO WE ARE

We as members of the Sacred Heart Council focus on developing programs that best serve the needs of our local community. All the good works are driven by our four core principles of charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. We are a band of brothers, more than 240 strong, doing good in the service of God, our parish, and our neighbors. If interested in joining, or finding out more information, please contact SK Kirk M Kloeppel at kkloeppel84@gmail.com

 

FOURTH DEGREE CORNER

There are four degrees of membership in the Knights. The first three degrees represent the values of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity.  The Fourth Degree is dedicated to the virtue of Patriotism, fostering that spirit in all members and the community at large. The Fourth Degree is the one most familiar to the public, identified by distinctive regalia and their participation in color corps and honor guards. They work tirelessly in their outreach to our nation's military - active, infirmed, or retired. The Fourth Degree is a position of prestige and something for which all Knights should strive.

GRAND KNIGHT'S MESSAGE

 

Brother Knights, families, and friends,

 

As we gather around our tables this Thanksgiving, let us pause to give thanks for the blessings God has placed in our lives — the gift of faith, the love of family, the strength of friendship, and the opportunity to serve others.

In a world that can often feel divided, our unity in charity, fraternity, and hope is a light that reflects Christ’s love. May we remember those who are alone, those in need, and those who serve far from home, keeping them in our prayers and, where possible, in our acts of kindness.

This season, let gratitude be more than words — let it be the way we live, the way we serve, and the way we love.

From our council 12537 to your home, may God bless you abundantly and keep you in His peace.

Vivat Jesus,
Ryan Kiniry
Worthy Grand Knight

 

 

 

 

Knights of Columbus Award Scholarships

The Sacred Heart Knights of Columbus, Council #12537, award scholarships at the end of the school year to Brunswick County High School Seniors. This year the Knights are pleased to announce that Samuel Weaver, Connor Walls, Gannon Herring, Hayden Delair, and Addison Baldwin, all from South Brunswick High School, were the scholarship recipients. The scholarships are to further their education at an accredited two or four-year institution or in a certified vocational program. The scholarships were awarded after their applications were reviewed and interviews were conducted.  The candidates were evaluated based upon financial need, community involvement, academic achievement, school active, and their interviews. 

Also,  a new scholarship is offered this year by an individual Knight - The Baronowski Family STEM Scholarship.  It is open to female high school seniors who intend to pursue a degree in one of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math) disciplines.  This year Emily Lynn Teets was the recipient of this scholarship.  Emily graduated from North Brunswick HS and will be attending East Carolina University.
