Knights of Columbus  Council 6520

As you are aware, we have taken on the Christian Caring center as a recipient of our assistance this year, spearheaded by Jim Wilhelmi, who is doing a fantastic job.

On Monday June 14, our Knights successfully installed stockade fencing behind a duplex that is owned by the CCC. 

This was set as a multi council event, and we thank several members from surrounding councils for helping in our effort.    

Thank you to everyon who help in this effort. 

Knights and their families in Medford, N.J., have answered the call to leave no neighbor behind. “I am sure proud of my dad for being in the Knights of Columbus. It’s a good opportunity to give back all that we’ve gotten from God,” says Jude Vellaringattu. WATCH

Mickey Zawatcki

He is Chairman of the Food Trailer Project " Leave No Neighbor Behind", He also chairs the Hunger Harvest and Co chairs the Dedication Christmas Tree Event. He is always.available for many of our other volunteer opportunities when called upon. For this reason and so many others we have selected him Knight of the Year.

Sam and Linda Xerri
Linda recently stepped down from chairing the YES ministry and moving on to religious Education at St Mary of the Lakes. Her tireless devotion to the youth of this parish, and her husband's willingness to always help volunteer at all events made this an easy selection for Family of the year.

The Brick are SOLD OUT.   We sold enough for two crosses to be installed at the parking lot entrance.   We thank all our parishioners for their support.  

Brothers, this event is a go, providing your use your discretion. You can stand at the door and welcome everyone to mass. It is greatly appreciated. We were at the door on EASTER and a lady passerby turned to her friend and said “those Knights are such wonderful men”! Brothers, we are noticed and the parish notices us and that is what recruits new men, so please stand at the doors and welcome people to mass, even if you don’t use a wheelchair or umbrella, it is appreciated.

Last month PGK Bill Casian, noticed that the Emmaus Center did not have a crucifix in it, and we started a motion to pay for one out of our budget. Well, this newly joined Knight instantly volunteered to donate his Jerusalem Cross, which was a gift to his mother in law, who recently passed to our council. So 2 weeks ago, his wife Carol came over and we put up the cross in the Emmaus Center, so when you get time please take a moment and go see it. It is truly a piece of art.

fThe GK has been compiling a list of Knights of the month over the last 10 years and was amazed that this Knight was not nominated before. I am sure it is because he is such a quiet gentleman and flies under the radar. But during the last year, this knight not only handled all of our financial documents and taxes, he handles our semi-yearly audits and makes it look like child’s play. He also took it upon himself to take charge of all of the Dedication brick details. Dealing with over 400 individuals as they and making sure everything was correct. He volunteers at SVDP when he gets free time and is just a great example of what a Knight of the month should look like.
