This is the second consecutive year and 14th year overall the council has been awarded this distinction. Last year the council also won the Star District and Star Assembly awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Star Council Award recognizes overall excellence in the areas of growing membership, promoting Knights of Columbus insurance benefits, sponsoring Catholic faith formation programs and volunteering time through service-oriented activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want to thank our Regional Administrator Bill Kelly, District Deputy John Hashtak, and Parish Pastor David Ruchinski, as well as the Brothers of Council 10850 for their hard work and dedication,\u201d Grand Knight Steve Roadruck said. \u201cThe Council completed 16 program events, hosted two fraternal benefit events, and increased membership by six percent for Fraternal Year 2023 \u2013 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The council has four major program categories: Faith, Family, Community, and Life. All these programs have several sub-programs such as Building the Domestic Church, Food for Families, Free Throw and Soccer Challenge, and March for Life. Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to men 18 years of age or older who are practical (that is, practicing) Catholics in union with the Holy See.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
