St. Joseph Documentary and Resources 

“In St. Joseph, we see our mission and mandate. Guard the family. Guard the truth. He led through service and creative courage. So must we. It is the only way to overcome the hurdles facing our families, the Church and our culture.”

— Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly

While the Gospel has not preserved any of his words, St. Joseph’s actions resound through the ages. Featuring interviews with leading experts and theologians, along with powerful firsthand testimonials, St. Joseph: Our Spiritual Father provides a glimpse into one of the most incredible lives in all history.

Seminarian Support - Keep the Faith Alive

“Keep the Faith Alive,” is our Order’s vocations initiative and has a number of programs based on prayer and designed to reach the hearts and minds of young people, as well as to provide financial support during their years of seminary training or religious formation.  Please help us to support them and pray for them.

Supporting Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities

This annual event supports our Parishes SPRED - Special Religious Development Ministries and local organizations: Mount St. Joseph, Illinois Special Olympics, Clearbrook, Riverside Foundation and Misericordia.  Street corner and storefront donations go to support local organizations, donations collected before and after mass at the five parishes we support go support their SPRED Ministries.

Confirmation Rosaries

Each year rosaries with a carrying pouch are blessed by the Bishop presiding at the Confirmation and distributed by the Knights of Columbus Honor Guard to the Confirmandy after receiving their Sacrament.

 Christmas Wreaths and Decorations Sale

Sales of these traditional Christmas decorating favorites go to support our council and the parish.

Keeping Christ In Christmas

We are pleased to offer two ways in which we can remind others of the true meaning of Christmas.

Proceeds from the sale of these items go to support our Seminarians in their journey

to become our future spiritual leaders as parish priests. 

Youth Activities and Recognition

Our annual Free Throw Competition, Spelling Bee, Keep Christ in Christmas Poster Competition and the Catholic Citizen Essay contests are for boys and girls in middle school.

These programs provide an athletic outlet and encourage the values of sportsmanship and healthy competition, help to develop competency over vocabulary, reading and writing and encourage today’s youth to become citizens grounded in their faith through creative writing.

 Corporate Communion Raffle

Knights and their families gather together at a designated Sunday each year to pray together and celebrate the joy of the Gospel.  Following the mass they enjoy a meal together.  After the meal, the raffle tickets are drawn and the winners are announced.  The proceeds go to support the council activities,

Food for Families

Provides families access to nutritious food.  Although the economy may have improved in some areas,

many families still need food assistance.  In fact, some councils have seen families who previously

donated to food pantries more recently come to the same pantries to receive donations.

Love Life, Choose Life, Defend Life, Pray For Life

 78% of women who see an ultrasound of their babies choose not to have abortions.

Here's what abortion was like in the United States before and after the landmark

Supreme Court case, and where it may be headed next.  view the video

Coats For Kids

When families struggle to clothe their children with warm coats in the winter, councils help meet this basic need.

Donations collected for this program are used by councils to purchase new winter winter coats for these children.
