Coming Up
Here’s what’s coming up next. Consider signing-up to help – we can ALWAYS use more hands! (select item for more detail)
As part of our Faith In Action programs we are holding our Annual Coat Drive for the Church and Catholic Charities.
For approximately 6 weeks, starting around Labor Day weekend; there are 2 Boxes located at St. Francis of Assisi where parishioners and the community can drop off coats that will be taken to Catholic Charities office here in Castle Rock on Wilcox Street. One of the boxes is located in the Narthex and the other is outside of Assisi Hall.
The role of the Knights and our Council is to periodically collect the coats in the boxes and take them down to Catholic Charities any morning between Monday and Thursday. Right now we have one Knight that has committed to checking after mass on Sunday and taking them to CC. We are asking if there are any other Knights that would be willing to help out in this project by periodically checking the Boxes at the church and collecting them to take to CC.
As Fall is approaching the boxes will be filling up more frequently and we do not want them to overflow if possible. So if any Knights would be willing to help out on this, please let Bart Keller or Ron Polomsky know.
Please prayerfully consider helping out if you can. Contact Ron Polomsky: 970-691-6969 for further details.

Dale Fledderman
Our September Knight of the Month goes to Dale Fledderman.
Dale took on the task of spearheading our Fall 2024 Tootsie Roll Drive. This took place on Saturday September 14th at three area King Soopers markets as well as handing out tootsie rolls and collecting donations following each of the masses that weekend! Total donations accumulated to over $3200 which is one of the highest; if not the highest weekend collections in our history of Tootsie Roll drives to support those individuals with Special Needs.
Great Job Dale!!
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.
