Don was very instrumental in Council 8909 preparation, help, and serving lunch at the ” In God We Trust ” Patriotic event in Aurora Colorado in September.
His involvement with the Food Bank every month exemplifies his spirit towards charity which is one of the Knights mission statements.
And his faithful involvement with the ” Men’s Inferno ” group shows his passion for lifting up Catholic Men to God!

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.
