About St. Andrew’s Knights of Columbus
We were founded in 1961 by a group of brothers from St. Andrew’s Church. Initially we didn’t have a council home, but in 1964, through the hard work of many members and a group of 10 brothers who put their homes up as collateral, we began construction on our home on Morrisey Ave.
Over the years we have grown and are now over 200 strong. We work together to support each other, and to support our local community.
Our local Council each year provides scholarships to seniors at each of our township’s three high schools as well as to children and grandchildren of our Council. We support the Special Olympics Polar Bear plunge, distribute Thanksgiving baskets, collect and distribute money for the Intellectually Disabled citizens, and aid other local charities. We also present an annual Shield Award for the local outstanding Police Officer, Firefighter, and EMT.
