"In service to one, in service to all. As Knight, we focus our service on Church, community, family/youth and Right to Life."

As Knights of Columbus, we are grateful to you for sending us your husbands, sons, nephews, neighbors and friends. We're proud to call these men brothers and friends as well. 

The parish and surrounding community has generously supported our Lenten Fish Fries, which comprise the bulk of our fundraising. We are deeply grateful for that support and we hope to see you all again this coming Lent. Those events have become a great bonding experience for our parish and help fund our charitable works throughout the year. We try to give back both as a group and as individuals. Our members are generous with their time not only as Knights, but in a variety of volunteer capacities at St. Patrick. Over the past decade, through our fish fries and other fundraisers, we have raised more than $150,000 to support things like parish facility projects, food pantry donations, wheelchair ramps and contributions to help special needs children. 

If you have questions abour becoming a Knight, please contact Stan Politowicz at stan.politowicz@gmail.com. 

We want to thank everyone who has participated in the Knights of Columbus' Lenten Fish Fry this year! It takes a village to make this drive-thru event a success and we are so grateful to all of our volunteers and to all who stopped by for dinner. The proceeds from this annual event support so many incredible projects in our parish, local community and beyond!

The Bill Patrick Memorial Golf Outing
A great big THANK YOU to all those who participated in the Bill Patrick Memorial Golf Outing! The event was a huge success and helped raise nearly $15,000 for the St. Patrick Catholic School to purchase COVID-19 supplies to ensure  the safety of our students, teachers, staff and their families. We are so grateful to all of our Sponsors and each person who participated by playing golf, purchasing raffle tickets, makeing donations and volunteering time. Your generosity is deeply appreciated!

2020 Summer Fish Fry
We would like to thank our Knights for making this year's Fish Fry such an incredible success. This was definitely an interesting year and despite some major bumps in the road, our Knights proved that with some ingenuity, creativity, flexibility and faith in the Lord, all things are possible. While we were disappointed that we weren't able to host the usual Lenten Fish Fry that we have all come to know and love; we are so grateful that we were able to come together as a community for our Drive-thru and Curb-side fish fry dinners after our long season of quarantine.
