Our Parishes

Thank You Verizon Foundation

The Knights of Columbus St Dominic Council 4399 thank The Verizon Foundation for matching our contribution of $750.00 to The Wheelchair Foundation. Together we are contributing $1,500 with the hope that this donation will bring light and joy into the lives of individuals and families who struggle with mobility and independence. The Wheelchair Foundation is a nonprofit organization leading an international effort to create awareness of the needs and abilities of people with physical disabilities, to promote the joy of giving, create global friendship, and to deliver a wheelchair to every child, teen and adult in the world that needs one, but cannot afford one. For these people, the Wheelchair Foundation delivers Hope, Mobility and Freedom. Thank you to the Verizon Foundation for joining us in helping those in need.

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men's fraternal society formed to provide financial aid to members,their families and the community. May 19th, 2007 marked the 50th anniversay of St. Dominic Council#4399. Throughout the past 50 years St. Dominic Council has been charitable with time, money and gifts to our local parishes,service organizations and residents. Our longevity and success is due to the dedication of our membership and the support of the community.

Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to practical Catholic men in union with the Holy See, who are at least 18 years old. A practical Catholic is one who lives up to the Commandments of God and the precepts of the Church. Application blanks are available from any member of the Knights of Columbus.
All priests and religious brothers having duly made application for membership and participated in the ceremonials become honorary life members of the Order and are exempt from payment of dues.

Candidates join local units, called "councils," most of which are based in one Catholic parish, or in the community at large. The candidate takes part in initiation degrees that explain the Knights of Columbus´ four principles: Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism.

A candidate is considered a "Knight" after taking his First Degree, but he is encouraged to advance through the Second and Third Degrees and on to the Fourth Degree, whose members promote the virtue of patriotism by serving in honor guards, color corps and promoting respect for country and the flag.
Knights of Columbus have a proud heritage. The qualified Catholic man can share in this heritage and build for an even greater future by affiliating himself with this forceful, effective fraternal organization.
