Welcome to the home of Knights of Columbus Council 15362 affiliated with Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in McAllen, Texas.
The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic fraternal service organization. KoC #15362 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church is very active in providing charitable services and support to the parish and broader community.
Being a Knight means more than simply volunteering; it means
“a life of faith in action, a life of boldness in brotherhood, a life worth living.”
Together, we’re empowering Catholic men to live their faith at home, in their parish, at work, and in their community.
We aim to help men, their families, and our parish to grow closer to Christ. Through our programs and resources, we provide opportunities to live and spread the Catholic faith
Our monthly meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM in the Annex.
Our Catholic faith teaches us to "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Members of the Knights of Columbus show love for their neighbors by conducting food drives and donating the food to local soup kitchens and food pantries, by volunteering at Special Olympics, and by supporting, both spiritually and materially, mothers who choose life for their babies. Knights recognize 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, a call we answer every day.
None of us is as good as all of us. Members of the Knights of Columbus all know that together we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. So we stick together we support one another. That doesn't mean that we always agree or that there is never a difference of opinion. It does mean that 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.
The Venerable Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to provide assistance to the widows and children left behind when the family breadwinner died often prematurely. The Order's top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do individual Knights, who last year gave more than 10 million hours of their time to assist sick and/or disabled members and their families. In the Knights of Columbus, we watch out for and take care of one another.
Members of the Knights of Columbus, be they Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Cubans, Filipinos, Poles, or Dominicans, are patriotic citizens. We are proud of our devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both. Whether it's in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are among the greatest citizens. We believe that serving others is an important part of living out our faith. We offer a variety of service opportunities both locally and globally, where you can make a difference in the lives of others. Click below to learn more about our service opportunities.
This year the Knight of Columbus Council #15362 was able to award four scholarships to our high school graduates. May God bless them on their new adventure.
