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.
