Who We Are
We are founded on the principles of Charity, Unity and Fraternity, in support of our Church, Catholic men and our families. Our STM council has 100 members, and we cordially invite
all men in our Parish 18 yrsand older to join us and form part of a great group of Brothers united in faith and service to our families and communities.
Our Mission
Together, we’re empowering Catholic men to live their faith at home, in their parish, at work and in their community
Our Faith
Our goal is to help men, their families and our parishes grow closer to Christ. Through our programs and resources, we provide opportunities to live and spread the Catholic faith.
What It Means To Be A Knight
We are Catholic men who lead, serve, protect and defend. We share a desire to be better husbands, fathers, sons, neighbors and role models and to put charity and community first.
Knights of Columbus Serve Through Houses Into Homes Project
This past Saturday, members of the St. Thomas More Catholic Church Knights of Columbus joined parishioners and volunteers for a meaningful day of service supporting Houses Into Homes, an organization dedicated to helping families create welcoming and dignified living spaces.
Working side by side, volunteers built a total of 12 dressers and 11 nightstands that will be distributed to individuals and families throughout our community. What began as pieces of wood and hardware quickly became something much greater — tangible signs of hope, compassion, and care for neighbors in need.
The project reflected the mission of the Knights of Columbus and the heart of STM: living our faith through service to others. Through teamwork, generosity, and willing hands, volunteers helped provide not only furniture, but also comfort, stability, and dignity to families working toward a fresh start.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the Knights, parishioners, and volunteers who generously gave their time and talents to make this project possible. Your dedication continues to make a lasting impact both within our parish and throughout the wider community.
The STM Knights of Columbus remain committed to serving through charitable works, parish support, outreach projects, youth ministry initiatives, and opportunities that strengthen our community and put faith into action.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this day such a success.
