Knights of Colu 10540 and the St. Anne parishioners want to help end hunger in our parish. Many people in our communities are struggling through hardship and unable to provide food to their families. Food for Families ensures that as few as possible go to bed hungry each night.

Our Council will be hosting 5 to 7 food drives through out the year to support St. Anne's Food Bank - Friends of the Needy.

Providing Ice Cream to the St. Anne's Parish during the summer months. 

Revitalize St. Anne's Parish by urging our parish families to devote themselves to the ideal model of familial love set by Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Invite each family in your parish to consecrate themselves to the Holy Family. 

Promote the true spirit of Christmas in homes, schools, parishes and communities. Councils will evangelize society through their faithful acts, celebrations and a variety of activities. 

Each month, the council Family of the Month committee selects one parish family that models Christian family values and visibly lives them every day. Once a year, each participating council also selects one of the previous twelve Family of the Month winners to represent the council/parish as the potential international Family of the Year. .        

This year with the focus on families, we plan on doing several outings to get more families involved:

• Family Dinners and Cookouts   
• Family Night at Movies
• Sports Outings 
• ETC. 
• Christmas Events 
• Easter Events        

By organizing activities in their parishes, councils can educate and evangelize using the rich resources found in the Catholic Information Service (CIS) Building the Domestic Church series of booklets.

Since 1948, 

CIS has been the major evangelical arm of the Knights of Columbus. Through multiple booklet series and various media formats, CIS makes our Catholic faith accessible and continually provides tools for catechesis and faith 

Many Catholic young people can attest that religious retreats are radically rejuvenating spiritual events that often leave a lasting impact on participants’ relationship to their faith. 

We will be having several events throughout the year please go to Calendar of Events to see when the next one is.

Support families during the most important events in the life of the domestic church: the sacraments. St. Anne's Council will play an integral role in these momentous faith events and the lives of our families and parish community through prayer and the presentation of symbolic gifts. 

Keep the faith alive by supporting our seminarians and postulants. As the strong right arm of the church, Knights of Columbus are committed to providing moral, financial and spiritual support to our future priests and religious at all stages of their formation. 

We support one seminarian each year.  

The Helping Hands program is designed to recognize the important work many councils already do to care for the most disadvantaged members of our communities — the homeless, the addicted, the elderly who may feel isolated and abandoned, and many others. The requirements for this program are very broad in order to allow councils to serve their community in whatever way is most needed. 

Sponsoring Friends of Needy and Giving Tree

 Provide warmth for children in need during cold winter months. The goal of the Coats for Kids program is to ensure that no child in North America goes without a coat during the winter season. Through the dedication of councils across the United States and Canada, hundreds of thousands of new winter coats have been distributed to children since program inception. For the Past Three years we have been working with the Giving tree and Friends of the Needy to provide hundred of ids who can't afford

This contest encourages today’s youth to be more connected to their community and their faith. The goal of this program is to involve young Catholics in grades 8 to 12 (public, private, parochial or home schools during the current school year) in civic discourse and instill in them religious and life-affirming values. 

We will be providing information on the contest so your child may participate.

Help mothers and babies by supporting pregnancy resource centers and maternity homes.  

We will be holding a fund raising event in January 2023 to raise money to support our local Center.  We will be collecting, diapers, clothes, formula, etc. 

The Program we are dedicating our resources to is The Aid To Women Center. 

 The protection of life is a sustained prayer intention of the Church, and in particular of the Knights of Columbus. Knights remain firmly committed to defending the right to life of every human being – from the moment of conception to natural death. To commemorate and bolster this important cause, councils will promote a novena, nine days of sustained prayer, to build up a culture of life in our parishes, homes and wider community. 

January 2023

We show public support for the right to life. Our Knights of Columbus councils encourage our members and their families to participate in the Phoenix March for Life.    

This is every 2 years 

Change hearts and minds about abortion by showing that the Knights of Columbus loves both mother and child before and after birth. Councils can provide material, financial, labor and other support to pro-life pregnancy centers that help women during pregnancy and following the birth of their newborn children. 

The Program we are dedicating our resources to is The Aid To Women Center.  We will do a fundraiser in January 2023.  

 The Knights of Columbus works together as an organization to purchase ultrasound machines for qualifying pregnancy centers. Discounted prices for select machines are offered through preferred pricing agreements arranged by the Supreme Council. The list of preferred machines is provided to sponsoring councils after the pregnancy center is approved for funding by the local diocese and the Supreme Council.

We are donating $500.00 Dollars and fundraising for more.
