Founder's Day - March 29th
On 29 Mar 2022 we celebrate Founder’s Day, which marks the date on which the Knights of Columbus was granted its charter and we celebrate its Founder – Fr. Michael J. McGivney. Blessed Michael McGivney was inspired to create a band of Catholic gentlemen, devoted to the principles of charity and unity — helping those in need; growing in faith and virtue as Catholic husbands and fathers; and providing financial security to families. We have a Saint in the making since our founder's beatification and his title is now “Blessed Fr. McGivney”.

Although the economy may have improved in some areas, many families still need food assistance. Hancock County Food Pantry ensures that families have adequate access to nutritious food.
The Knights of Columbus Council 16433 and St. Clare Catholic Church are honored to help supply those with food who are in need. We are supplying grocery bags at the church for your donations. Simply grab a bag, fill it up and then return it back to St. Clare. We will display the collection at the altar. Prior to delivery we will have prayer over the gifts, prayer for those who donated and prayer for those who are in need.
