Knights in the Spotlight
Every month, the council leadership would like to put the spotlight on new members or a Knight that exemplifies the ideals of the Knights of Columbus.
Council 8909 was pleased to award brother knight Gary Kuntz with a Certificate of Merit for his outstanding efforts to bring the rosary to the council, the district, the state, and the nation.
Gary’s efforts associated with his Knight’s Rosary and Mother Mary Ministries have been his passion for over 20 years and has distributed over 52,000 rosary booklets, audio tapes, and CDs. His efforts have been recognized in national publications such as the National Catholic Register, Catholic Stand, Medjugorje Magazine, and the Catholic Herald.
Gary is moving closer to family and will be leaving our council. We wish him well!

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
