Welcome Brothers Knights to June 2026

On May 30, we celebrated the “Brave Like Bleu” event, Bleu as you may know is a young boy who has ALD which is a very serious genetic condition. The event was captained by Joe and Angela Malvino, and Victor Salvi. They were supported by Kevin Lamb, Lou Femiano, Andy and Ronnie Pavelko, Bob and SanJoe Westridge, Tom Raulinavich, Fran Stevenson, Joanne Frank, and Alan Nesdill. Despite the windy day, the Bleu’s event showed that the council 6201 of Knight’s, the Columbian Club Members and the Ladies Auxiliary along with our family and friends who volunteered their time can work together on short notice and pull together as one Council and have a very successful day. It was my pleasure as Grand Knight to see everyone working together for the Bleu’s Family of friends and our guest knowing that they all appreciated our efforts to help for this young boy. On a separate note, I would also like to thank, “OC Jukebox” for supplying the entertainment and their generous raffle gifts and donations to help, it was truly thoughtful of them.

I took a nasty fall in August 2025 just 2 months after accepting the Grand Knight’s position which laid me up for 3 months for rest and PT. Kevin Lamb our Deputy Grand Knight without hesitation step up and took on the responsibility of Grand Knight. Kevin, your support and active participation during those months is the bed rock for the past year and I, along with the Council want to thank you.

On Friday June 5 at 6:30 there will be a New Members Meeting before the Social Meeting, please come early to meet the new members. This introductory meeting for the new members will help them understand the brotherhood of our council and to know that their participation will be helpful.

The Council has had a very busy year holding the many events we sponsor, thanks to all the Brother Officers, the Knights of the Council, Ladies Auxiliary along with our families and friends for supporting these events. It has been my honor to be there when needed and through the past year I have learned to serve you as the Grand Knight with greater respect as time went on. During the past year we provided food baskets for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, met our quota for donations at the family picnic, issued the Race for Life recipients Dayton Frulio $20,000.00, Tootsie Roll Drive our Bimonthly Blood Drive and our Annual Charity Golf Tournaments.

Our Pillars

Charity

Our Catholic faith teaches us to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Members of the Knights of Columbus show love for their neighbors by supporting local charities and recognizing that our mission and our faith in God compels us to action. There is no better way to experience love and compassion than by helping those in need.

Unity

None of us is as good as all of us - together we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. We support one another. As a Knight of Columbus you can count on the support and encouragement of your brother Knights as you work to make life better in your parish and community.

Fraternity

Blessed Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to provide assistance to the widows and children left behind when a family member passed away – often prematurely. The Order’s top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do the good works of individual Knights, illustrating how Catholics serve each other in fraternity and mercy, every day.

Patriotism

Members of the Knights of Columbus are patriotic citizens. We are proud of our devotion to God and country and believe in standing up for both. Whether it is in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their country.
