We are now taking 2019 KofC Shirt Orders for the Council. If you are relatively new to the Council, or if your current shirt just needs an upgrade, please take this opportunity to order. We are offering 5 quality shirts from Port Authority and Nike.
Place your shirt order below and you will pay the Council when the shirts are arrive. The cost is estimated because the shipping cost is allocated equally over the number of shirts ordered and may vary by a couple of dollars. Please contact Bill Cory at bill.cory@comcast.net if you have any questions.

Congratulations to our Newest Knights! – Chris Beck received his 1st Degree on July 11, and brothers John & Jim Selmarten received their 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Degree on July 20, 2019.
