Our council hosts a large number of council activities throughout the year.

Together with other Knights in the Pittsburgh Diocese, we support the Bishop's Project for Exceptional Children through various fund-raising activities.

Our council collects and sorts Gently Used Children's Books, and redistributes them through food pantries, child care centers, and elementary schools serving underpriviledged youth.

We donate to the EECM (East End Community Ministries) Food Bank through member donations and other fund-raising sources.

We conduct many other activities, as encouraged by the Order, in areas of Church: Parochial service and sponsorship of various parish activities, Clergy recognition, and Seminarian support; Community: Blood drives, Pro-life, Used eye-glasses collections, Aid to missionary activities in Honduras, EECM and Exceptional Children's projects; Youth: Annual Free-throw and Essay contests, Altar server awards, support to School Libraries, Gently-used books; Family: Promotion of Family and Couple outings, parties and dinners, Annual Memorial Mass, Family of the Month and Family of the Year awards; Council/Fraternal: Bi-monthly newsletter, Intra-council socials, Knight of the Month award, E-mail hotline.

Prayer For Vocations Heavenly Father, bless your Church with an abundance of holy and zealous priests, deacons, brothers and sisters. Give those you have called to the married state and those you have chosen to live as single persons in the world the special graces that their lives require. Form us all in the likeness of your Son so that in him, with him and through him we may love you more deeply and serve you more faithfully, always and everywhere. With Mary we ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
