Testimonials

“After attending Holy Rosary with my family for many years, I was approached by a Holy Rosary Knight, Mr. Tom Moons, who shared some of the contributions the Knights were making in our community.  My wife and I supported the charitable works of Holy Rosary for many years, but I was surprised to learn about the many charitable endeavors the Knights were involved in.  Since joining, the Holy Rosary KOC have been involved in raising significant funds for Special Olympics, Next Step Pregnancy Services, Easter Seals, St. Vincent DePaul, Quo Vadis, Seminarian support and so much more.  Joining the Knights of Columbus of Holy Rosary is an easy way to make a significant contribution to the local community!” - Steve Terry

“The men in our council have good values that motivate and inspire me.  An example is my Brother Knight and Past Grand Knight, Kurt Johnson.  Since I joined the Knights in 2003, I've witnessed his repeated dedication at all of our council’s events. What truly stands out, however, is his unwavering willingness to help anyone who asks.  From assisting with moving and cleaning yards for the elderly to giving impromptu rides, Kurt consistently demonstrates a selfless spirit.  I sometimes joke that his pickup truck's primary purpose is to help others.” - Kirk Chia

“I was looking for a way to contribute to my community and make new friends after retiring and moving to Santa Fe in 2009.  Given that two key missions of the Knights are charity and fraternity, it was a perfect fit.  So, I joined the local council and have since enjoyed the satisfaction of supporting many local charities with our Knights of Columbus activities and the companionship of the new friends I've made in current Council #12591 in Edmonds – Bob Spaulding
