May Knight of the Month Larry Callin
Council 8909 would like to Honor Larry Callin as our May Knight of the Month.
Larry has been a welcome face to helping and setting up for our Events over the past 3 months. He was there to help set up the Hall and make coffee every Friday before we served our Fish at the Fish Fry. And most recently with our busy May weekend of Food and Fun Festival set up and refreshments, to set up and get our coffee around to serve to the Parish for the Parish Blood Drive and Parish Breakfast.
Thank You Larry for your Time, Dedication, and Commitment to the Betterment of our Council!
April Knight of the Month Dick Harding
Our Council would like to Honor Dick Harding as our April Knight of the Month.
Dick has been an absolute rock in our Council making himself available for all of the Knights Events and Activities; when he is not at an Avalanche Hockey Game! He was most appreciated for Helping with Cutting Fish and Serving the Slaw at our Parish Fish Fry this past Lenten season. He made sure that everything was running smoothly at the Cole Slaw and Bread Table!
Thank You Dick for all of your hard work and dedication to the Knights and to our Council!
Our Foundation
The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 by blessed Father Michael McGivney in New Haven, CT. Our council is based on the principles he identified of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. We are sponsored by the St. Francis of Assisi parish in Castle Rock, Colorado with the intentions to increase the faith of our members, their families, and the parish as a whole through prayer and service.
Our Founder
The founder of the Knights of Columbus, Father Michael J. McGivney was a central figure in the growth of Catholicism in America, and he remains a model today.
His example of charity, evangelization and empowerment of the laity continues to bear fruit and guide Knights of Columbus around the world.
Our Parish

Becoming more and more like Jesus was the mission of Francis.
It’s our mission, too!
