Organizations and Committees
 The Knights of Columbus is an organization whose members, in a variety of ways, contribute to the spiritual and temporal works of our parish community. Nationally they are the greatest force speaking out against abortion and euthanasia.
Over seven years ago the Chatham K. of C. decentralized itself from one organization and established itself on a parish basis. This has been a real growing experience for the Knights in our parish. Their charities extend both to the community and to the parish.
