St. Oliver Plunkett Council KofC13440

Here is a golden opportunity for our council to raise money and be at a baseball game while doing it. We have openings to volunteer at the "All The Fixn's" concession stand at the Gwinnett Stripers home games for the 2025 season. The Knights receive 10% or more of all the sales for each game plus 100% of all tips. Last year we did very well, but we need more volunteers. If you could volunteer for one game a month or one game a season, every bit helps There is training you will need to complete, which you will be reimbursed for ($20-$30). Please let myself or Robert Barnard know ASAP if you are able to volunteer. You would also receive a 25% discount in the Stripers store and on all your food purchases.

Contact Grand Knight Todd Morrow if you can help.

How the Knights Of Columbus Are Saving 1 Million Lives - 2 Minute Video

FAITH IN ACTION - LIFE

The Knights of Columbus vigorously defends the dignity of each human being at every stage of life.

Guided by the principles of charity, unity, and fraternity, members of the Knights of Columbus work to overcome the hardships that people face in their parishes and communities. We are a growing organization — nearly 2 million members — and for over 130 years, we have committed to overcome the challenges of the need for food, shelter, warm clothing and financial security, as well as provide aid for widows and orphans in our local communities.

Joining your local council of the Knights of Columbus can change your life. As a Knight, you have the opportunity to strengthen your parish, give back to your community, grow in your faith and gain exclusive access to our portfolio of top-quality insurance products to financially protect your family. Councils conduct many programs that support your parish and community including:

But joining your local council does not mean that you need to sacrifice quality time with your family. In fact, volunteering an hour here or an hour there with your family can make an enormous impact in your life and in the lives of others.

Joining the Knights of Columbus is a way to actively engage with your Catholic faith by participating in charitable programs, building community with other men who share your values, and providing service to your parish and wider community, all while having access to a top-rated insurance program for your family's financial security; essentially, it's an opportunity to live out your faith through concrete actions and fellowship with like-minded individuals.

If you’re interested in helping those in need in your parish and community, strengthening your parish and familial relationships, growing in your faith, and gaining exclusive access to top-quality insurance protection for you and your family, then joining your local Knights of Columbus council gives you the way to achieve these goals.

Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to men 18 years of age or older who are practical (that is, practicing) Catholics in union with the Holy See. This means that an applicant or member accepts the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live in accord with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in good standing in the Catholic Church.

The Knights of Columbus Drive for Persons With Disabilities has been in existance since 1970. The Knights of Coumbus Charities Tootsie Roll Program is dedicated to providing life-based health care, lerning and quality of life of life opportunities for children, teen, and adults with disabilities. Tthe St. Oliver Council 13440 Council has selected Bennett's Place as our recipiet of the proceeds from our drives. Thanks to the generosity of the Parishioners we have been able to raise thousands of dollars for Brnnett's Place.
This June we were honored to presented Bennett's Place with a check for $3750.00
