Monsignor J. Francis Hinchey Council 6579
”The Knights of Columbus are proud to be a member of St. Augustine’s Parish. Our own success as a Council is a result of the generosity of the St. Augustine’s parishioners. We are aligned in our commitment to help our local community thrive.
Our Knights are active throughout the year with a variety of events. Leave No Neighbour Behind benefits those who need food. The bottle drives allow us to support several Knights charities. These are just two examples of several event programs we take on each year.
We look forward to continuing our work and are thankful for the partnership and support we receive from St. Augustine’s.
On behalf of all of Knights, thank you parishioners. We are very grateful for all you do as we build a stronger community – together.

Into The Breach Series
Inspired by the Apostolic Exhortation for Catholic men written by Bishop Olmsted of Phoenix, the Knights of Columbus produced a video series which seeks to answer the question of what it means to be a man and how to live as a man in today’s world.
