The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic fraternal service organization. In 1998, the Knights chartered a new Council based at Saint Lawrence and aligned to support our efforts. Council #12180 was named after the first Trinitarian Pastor of our parish, Father Bernard Harding, O.SS.T.
Our council provides resources and financial support to a broad spectrum of parish activities, sponsoring our Lenten Friday Suppers, Mother’s Day Brunch, and Breakfast with Santa, assisting our pro-life ministries including the Gabriel Network, and leading civic engagements commemorating 9/11, Tootsie Roll Fund Drive, and annual Antietam Battlefield Illumination. Our members are actively supporting our parish Food Pantry programs.
The council eagerly seeks new members to strengthen our efforts. We meet twice a month on the first and third Thursdays in our Parish Center. While meeting attendance is optional, they help make our activities successful and many members look forward to the fellowship and camaraderie before, during, and even after each meeting.
