Community

Every community has its unique needs. For the Knights of Columbus, whose first principle is charity, finding ways to help those in need in their communities is a mission its members embrace. Through their good works, whether it be bringing food to the hungry, warm coats to the cold, wheelchairs to those who can’t walk, or any of the many other programs conducted to help those in need, the Knights of Columbus practices a charity that evangelizes.

These are just some of the ways our council ministers to the local community.

Knights Movie Night

The Knights of Columbus "Movie Night" program presents a free screening of Jesus Thirsts on Saturday, January 3 from 6:30 to 9:00pm in the Parish Hall.

This visually stunning film takes viewers on a global journey to uncover the transformative power of the Eucharist. Engaging in profound dialogue with prominent Catholic leaders, the film explores the biblical origins of the Eucharist and shares powerful personal stories of lives transformed by the Blessed Sacrament.

This exploration makes it unmistakably clear that the Eucharist is not merely a symbol, but is indeed Jesus Christ Himself — fervently desiring to quench our spiritual thirst with His boundless love. Inspiring insights from Scott Hahn, Chris Stefanik, Bishop Andrew Cozzens, Noelle Mering, Tim Gray, Fr. Donald Calloway, Eduardo Verastegui, Fr. Robert Spitzer, SJ, and many others.

Also watch the Knights of Columbus produced The Eucharist: Source of Our Healing and Hope either before or after Jesus Thirsts.

Knights Movie Night

The Knights of Columbus "Movie Night" program presents a free screening of Mary of Nazareth on Saturday, December 6 from 6:30 to 9:00pm in the Parish Hall.

Mary of Nazareth is an epic motion picture on the life of Mary, mother of Christ, from her childhood through the Resurrection of Jesus. Shot in High Definition, it was filmed in Europe with outstanding cinematography, a strong cast, and a majestic music score. Actress Alissa Jung gives a beautiful, compelling and inspired portrayal of Mary.

The film vividly captures the essence of Mary’s profound faith and trust in God amidst the great mysteries that she lived with as the Mother of the Messiah, as well as her compassionate humanity and concern for others, and the deep love that she and Jesus shared for one another. The movie underscores her special role in God’s plan for our redemption, her unique relationship with Christ, and the tremendous suffering that she endured in union with his passion and death, as well as her serene joy at his Resurrection.

It was directed by acclaimed European film director Giacomo Campiotti (Bakhita, Doctor Zhivago, St. Giuseppe Moscati), and written by Francesco Arlanch (Restless Heart, Pius XII, Pope John Paul II). In addition to the luminous performance by Jung, the film also has inspiring portrayals by Andreas Pietschmann as Jesus, Luca Marinelli as Joseph, Paz Vega as Mary Magdalene and Antonia Liskova as Herodias. The original music score by Guy Farley is enthralling and majestic.

After viewing this movie, Pope Benedict XVI said: “ Mary of Nazareth is the woman of a full and total ‘Here I am’ to the Divine Will. In her ‘yes’, even when faced with the loss of her Son, we find complete and profound beatitude.”

Please join us for a free screening on December 6 from 6:30 to 9:00pm in the Parish Hall. Admission is free. Donations are welcomed to offset the cost of refreshments.
