Knights of Columbus
Knights are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, who are committed to making their community a better place, while supporting their Church. Being a Knight is more than camaraderie; it is being involved with your community; it is supporting your local Catholic Church, while enhancing your own faith; it is about protecting and enhancing your family life.
Our local council, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin Council #12359, has been part of the IHM family since the Council's founding in January, 1999. Now numbering over 100 members, the Bernardin Council is proud to be a vibrant part of the IHM parish community, sponsoring regular activities like our monthly Parish Breakfast (3rd Sunday of every month), annual Soccer Challenge and Free Throw Challenge for grade-school-aged young people, semi-annual Blood Drives, and our annual "Measure Up" collection for developmental challenged citizens. Local Knights are deeply involved in parish life, and can be found involved in many ministries throughout the parish.
If you want to learn more about the activities of our Council, we invite you to take a look at our monthly newsletter.
Joseph Cardinal Bernardin Council #12359 meets the third Tuesday of each month in Heritage Hall. Meetings are open to member Knights only, and begin with recitation of the rosary at 7:15, with a business meeting following at 7:30.
If you are already a Knight, we invite you to join us for our monthly meeting.
If you are not yet a Knight, and would like to join, we invite you to ask any Knight, contact us by e-mail at membership@ihmknights.org, or call Chuck Blankenship (474-1464).
