2006 Council Report

 

Knights of Columbus

St. John the Beloved Council 11796

Activities and Beneficiaries

 Dear St. John the Beloved Parishioners,

Since our charter was established in 1996, the St. John the Beloved Council of the Knights of Columbus has nearly doubled in membership. We have received tremendous support from our Parish and Community and want you to know that, because of your support, we have been able to help many parish organizations and local charities with financial support and volunteer hours. 

In just ten years we have donated more than $120,000 (much of it to parish beneficiaries); supported formation of other Councils in Delaware; and supported local and International K of C programs.  Council members have volunteered more than 75,000 hours (equal to 36 years of full time service), giving over 8,000 hours annually in our many service programs. 

The following is a partial accounting of some of our activities and beneficiaries.  Thank you for your tremendous support. We ask for your continued support and prayers as we grow together to do God's will.  If you know a Catholic man over the age of 18 who might be interested, please have him contact Vito DiChiara (455-9159), Kevin Duffy (366-1655), or any knight about joining our council here at St. John the Beloved or visit our web site at www.11796.kofc-de.org .
