Council Activities

Our council activities embody the core values of the knights worldwide: Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. Since our foundation in 1914 we have continued involvement in the local community in all three parishes in San Pedro, and in the greater Church through family focused events such as the annual Parish Fiesta which they founded in 1917 at Mary Star of the Sea. Our volunteers and our fund raising efforts help provide food for the hungry, scholarships for local students, aid to handicapped children, support of our clergy, promoting vocations and defending the right to life.

Car Show:  In June 2023 our branch held a Car Show at Mary Star High School, with the proceeds benefitting the Columbian Squires at that school.

ACTIVITIES PHOTOS: Columbia Magazine has a section called "Knights in Action;" our aim is to have Council 1740 shown there. With the heavy volume of submissions, the editors cannot use all of them. They post the accompanying articles to www.Kofc.org/knightsinaction, where we are shown this month. Please keep your action photos coming. We can always use them on this website.

HAVE A CELL PHONE? Take a picture at your next KofC activity or event and email it to Joe Lauro, jlauro@sbcglobal.net. Please give a brief description of who, what and where.
