Message from our Grand knight
Welcome to Father John J. McCarthy Council 12472. Our Council is very involved in the activities of Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic Church as Knights and as individuals. Under the Knightly organization the Brothers are involved in and complete many projects during the year. We participate in specific hours of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration each week, provide Altar servers for the 11 AM Sunday Mass, and are responsible for the Stations of the cross once during Lent. We are proud to erect a Nativity scene in front of the Church during the Christmas season, have a Knights of Columbus Choir, make Keep Christ in Christmas magnets available during the Advent season, and provide free pancake Breakfast for the Annual Ministry Fair. Each year we have an annual Memorial Mass for departed Brother Knights and deceased family members of Knights, we participate in stripping the altar after the Feast of the Last Supper, and help Father Gálvez and other Church Ministries upon request. As members of the parish the Knights participate in parish ministries and lead or co-lead the Perpetual Adoration, Stewardship and Welcoming Committees. We hope this website provides a brief introduction to our council and The Knights of Columbus. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about our council or becoming a member.
Vivat Jesus!
Grand Knight, Everette Reynolds
