Our annual homecoming in October celebrates the anniversary of the Parish. Knights and Lady Knights prepare brisket, sausage, hamburger and hot dog meals, serving 800-1000 people. We will light the fire on  at 7:30 pm in the outdoor Pavilion. The next morning we will begin preparing the meat at 6:30 am, and serving after the 10:30 Mass. 

Each year Archbishop Flores sponsors a Brunch to raise funds for the Battered Women's' Shelter. This is really a fun event with celebrity waiters, entertainment, silent and live auctions and of course a great meal.

Four times a year, the fire starts burning by 4 am. By 7 am, Knights are up to their elbows in frozen chickens. We sell over 200 chicken dinners at the 10:30 and 12:30 Masses, raising hundreds of dollars for our charity work. Thanks to all who help, especially to the ladies who made the rice and beans.

Since its addition to the Order’s product portfolio in 2000, long-term care insurance has provided us with an excellent opportunity to further serve Knights and their families. And for our long-term care clients in the United States, a KofC Care policy brings added value. That added value is in the form of a service called “Provider Pathway,” a program offering access to a network of long-term care providers at discounted rates. The network covers: home health care, personal emergency response systems, adult day care, assisted living, skilled nursing facilities and durable medical equipment. Eligibility for participation in this program is open to Knights of Columbus Long Term Care Insurance policyholders, their spouses, dependent children, parents and parents-in-law. All providers are fully credentialed and meet state licensing requirements.

If you are not currently an LTC policyholder and you would like more information on how you can avail yourself of this benefit, give me a call. Our Council Insurance Agent is Ken Lemanski You can call him at 860-3991 (business) or email him at kennethlemanski@kofc.org
