Knights of Columbus

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton is Hosting St. Joseph Pilgrim Icon #183 of #300

"The pilgrim icon prayer program is a longstanding tradition for the KofC, in which every few years a new icon is selected to inspire the Knights and their parish communities. Blessed copies of the St. Joseph Icon are distributed to each of the Knights' more than 75 jurisdictions and travel from council to council around the world."

The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic fraternal organization, with more than two million members in 16,000 councils worldwide. 
The pilgrim icon prayer program is a longstanding tradition for the KofC, in which every few years a new icon is selected to inspire the Knights and their parish communities. Blessed Copies of the icon are distributed to each of the Knights' more than 75 jurisdictions, and travel from council to council around the world. Councils at parishes will use the icon as centerpieces for “rosary-based” prayer services, a press release said. Our Lady of Guadalupe was the first icon during the conception of the program in 1979. Since the initiation of the program, almost 175,000 council and parish prayer services have been held with about 22 million participants.
Images previously used in the program have been icons of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Our Lady of Częstochowa, Our Lady of Pochaiv, Our Lady of the Rosary, Our Lady of Charity, Our Lady Help of Persecuted Christians, and the Holy Family.
 

We are called to community service. As we practice service, service becomes a part of who we are!

We invite any Catholic man, 18 years and older, to join us and find out how your family can experience the Knight-life.

The Knights are a fraternal organization of Catholic men dedicated to feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and bringing the message of salvation to the world. We host monthly pancake breakfasts after the 9 AM & 11 AM Sunday Masses, the Annual CrabFest and the Children’s Christmas Party every December, as well as coordinate the Annual Parish Picnic in September. 

For more information on activites check our Parish Events page and our Parish Calendar.

The Knights are the first to be called upon when there are needs in our Parish. Many projects, such as installing the outdoor Christmas lights, the lighting of our flagpole, and periodic cleaning of the grounds, are carried out by our Knights.
