Knights of Columbus Council 1455 was founded in 1909 as a result of community growth and the need to better serve the local parish and community. The council works closely with the St. James Parish and the St. James Catholic School in their various programs, and its members also serve the local community by being active participants in various projects that support the community needs.
Our council coordinates and participates in a number of parish, community, family and youth activities throughout the year, by providing both manpower & financial support. Activities include our popular community-wide fish fry during Lent, held at St James School, as well as coordinating the parish collections in support of Religious Vocations, sponsoring the All Souls Day remembrance at St James Cemetery, conducting an appreciation event for altar servers and a kids Christmas Party. We participate in the annual Knights of Columbus “Tootsie Roll Drive” which raises money for persons with intellectual disabilities, and we host an annual Brotherhood Banquet event raising funds for Kosair for Kids.
