The St. Joan of Arc Knights of Columbus was chartered in January 1992. We have about 55 active members. We usually meet on the second Monday of each month at 8:00 p.m. in classrooms 11 & 12.

The Knights support many activities of the parish and our community, including the following:

   * Support parish through fish fry on six Fridays during Lent
   * Provide support of $100 per month for a selected seminarian
   * Support worthy charities through our Ohio Charities Raffle
   * Support mentally disabled through our annual "Measure Up" campaign
   * Support mentally disabled through our annual sales of Columbus Clippers tickets
   * Support vocations through our Pennies from Heaven campaign
   * Prepare food the annual parish picnic
   * Collect money for Salvation Army during two Saturdays in December at Sawmill Kroger
   * Support RCIA by donation of rosaries to all candidates
   * Provide color guard for annual Powell Memorial Day parade
   * Provide honor guard for bishop during confirmation Masses
   * Serve donuts and beverages during Fellowship Sundays
   * Support "Keep Christ in Christmas" campaign by sponsoring highway billboard each December
   * Support Sunday TV Mass through annual donation
   * Provide sense of fraternity through member social activities, including camping trips, annual
       picnics, Riverwatch/ OSU football fundraiser, Christmas parties and other events

This is just a sample of the activities that we do throughout the year. We provide financial support to many other causes, as well as general parish support on an as-needed basis. No member is expected to do everything, only what he is willing and able to do.

A great benefit to being a member of the Knights is the AAAA rated life insurance available to Knights only, established in 1882 by our founder Fr. Michael J. McGivney. For more information call, e-mail or go to www.stjoanofarckofc.org.
