You will see Him placed in a golden receptacle known as a Monstrance, which is used for proper veneration. Gold is pure and precious, and is the traditional metal given to those we love. How much more does the Son of God made Flesh in the Holy Eucharist deserve to be housed in this precious metal which He Himself made?

ORIGIN
The Knights of Columbus (K of C) is a global Catholic fraternal service order founded by Blessed Michael J. McGivney on March 29, 1882 under the principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. Membership is limited to practicing Catholic men over the age of 18 and led by Patrick E. Kelly, the order's 14th Supreme Knight.

OUR MISSION
Together, we’re empowering Catholic men to live their faith at home, in their parish, at work and in their community.
Our council accomplishes our mission through a plethora of events that support our "Faith in Action Programs" at the Prince of Peace Catholic Church parish, local community, state, and national level.
A few examples of our "Faith in Action Programs" include:
Pilgrim Icon Program – Sacred Heart of Jesus Icon 12/16/2025 – 12/22/2025
Food for Families - Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church Food Pantry
Global Wheelchair Mission
