Knights of Columbus Mission<\/h2>\n

We are Catholic men building a bridge back to faith. There is much good and necessary work to be done in this world, and that’s what Knights do every day.<\/p>\n

Charity in Delaware & Worldwide<\/h3>\n

Charity is at the heart of our work and our faith \u2014 and it always has been. For the Knights of Columbus, charity means supporting a virtually boundless variety of projects.<\/p>\n

Fundraising During COVID Pandemic<\/h3>\n

Given the present circumstances, our main fundraiser, the Lenten Fish Fry, could not take place this year after being curtailed in 2020. Our Thrift Shop has a goal of raising a comparable amount of money, so we can continue to support important local causes.<\/p>\n

Knights, parishioners and community members donate new or used items and our council “sells” at bargain prices, similar to a Thrift Store or Flea Market. To keep safe social distancing, purchases are made online and items are picked up at a certain date (or delivered in the Wilmington area in certain circumstances).<\/p>\n

What it means to be a Knight<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n
