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.

Council Presented with Awards for the 2024 - 2025 Colombian Year 

Worthy Brothers,

At our February council meeting, I was presented two awards from our District Deputy and fellow council member, Michael Zazzeri, who was representing Supreme.

 

The first of these, the Father McGivney Award, is recognition for the successful completion of membership goals for the past year. I want to thank SK Rick Morschauser who assumed the leadership position of this responsibility mid year and did a great job recruiting the new members.

 

The second, the Columbian Award, is more encompassing in meaning and importance to us as a council. It is the official acknowledgement and recognition of the dedication, time, devotion and selflessness that we as a council willingly gave to our community last year. It is proof of our unity, of our brotherhood, of our charitable being.

 

These awards are your awards, I was fortunate enough to be the man standing in front when you earned these.

Thank you,
Vivat Jesus!
Tom Corbett Past Grand Knight

 

 

Congratulations to Our Newest Knights

On February 2nd we held an exemplification for our new brother Knights, Dennis Messick and Tom Grywatch. It was a very nice ceremony. I want to thank the exemplification team (Rick, Jeff, Bob and Scott) for doing such a great job. I want to thank Father Thanh for presiding as our chaplain for the exemplification. I also want to thank our guest Marty Yakimovich (Knights of Columbus field agent) for attending the exemplification and talking to our executive officer's about the Knight's insurance. It is always a pleasure when Marty comes to visit our council. Congratulations Dennis and Tom and welcome to council 12537.

 

Vivat Jesus!
