Knights of Columbus St. Mary of Mokena Council 6993

Knights of Columbus St. Mary of Mokena Council 6993 Welcome to the official St. Mary of Mokena Knights of Columbus page. It was originally named St Francis of the Woods Council. St.

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal service organization that witnesses to its principles of charity, unity and fraternity through spiritual and corporal works of mercy locally and throughout the world. The Knights also promotes the Catholic faith through evangelization initiatives and offers financial security to its members and their families through highly rated financial products and services. Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to men 18 years of age or older who are practical (that is, practicing) Catholics in union with the Holy See. This means that an applicant or member accepts the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live in accord with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in good standing in the Catholic Church. ABOUT OUR COUNCIL
6993 Council was founded in 1977 through the efforts of many past and current knights. Francis of the Woods is a retirement center for nuns. This was a central location between three parishes from which our original members came. Since that time two other councils were formed which now serve those parishes. To better reflect our service to the one parish the name was changed to St. Mary Mokena Council around 1998. Our Council works closely with St Mary Parish in Mokena Illinois, providing funds for various projects with members being active participants in their parish. The Council does not have a building. We use the church as our meeting place, St Mary in Mokena (http://www.stmarymokena.org/). The council meets the second Tuesday of each month. Meetings normally are held in the Parish Hall which is directly below the church. Meetings start at 7:00 PM and usually last an hour. Before the meetings at 6 PM we have refreshments and a social time. Mary Mokena Council is part of the Joliet Assembly.

Last night at the Versiti of Illinois "Celebration Hope Appreciating You" Donor and Coordinator event in Naperville. St. Mary Mokena council turned the table on our Senior Account Rep. Tracey Jaramillo presented her with a Certificate of Appreciation form the council for her going out of her way to make our July drive a success.
A lady out of a walk saw the drive signs, walked in to donate but did not have an ID. Tracey drove here home to get her ID and was able to donate. For that we thank you Tracey. Our next drive is Monday September 21 from 2-7 pm, see you there Tracey.
