Knights of Columbus 
Now on FORMED!

In Honor of Veterans Day, the Knights of Columbus Father McGivney Council 6392 will be collecting for “Send A Hero Home For Christmas” after all Masses Saturday, November 10^th and 11^th.

This program pays the transportation costs of active duty military personnel to return home for the Christmas holidays.  The New Jersey Knights of Columbus focus on personnel stationed at the joint base of McGuire/Dix/Lakehurst given their large population of service personnel, along with NWS Earl and Coast Guard & Marines stationed in the area.  We work with the base Chaplains and JAG offices in identifying recipients.  Applicants rank can be no higher than an E3 – junior enlisted personnel.

Over the past five years, the NJ State Council has raised nearly $120,000 enabling us to purchase round trip bus, train and plane tickets for 216 Airmen, Sailors, Coast Guard and Marines who would not have been able to get home for Christmas without our help.  The average ticket cost us $500, so every dollar counts.
 

The Knights of Columbus is the largest Lay Catholic men’s fraternal organization in the world; based on the principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism and dedicated to supporting the Pope, our Bishops and Priests.

The Father McGivney Council #6392 meets at 8:15 PM on the first Tuesday of every month.  We alternatate our meetings between Saint Leo’s and Saint Catharine's, Holmdel.

Among the many Church, Family, Youth, Council and Community activities undertaken annually are

• Youth Free Throw Contest
• Support of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities
• Birthright and other Pro-Family/Pro-Life Programs
• Youth Essay and Poster Competitions
• Serving the Annual Father and Son Communion Breakfast at Christian Brothers Academy
