Yukon Knights of Columbus

Hey Blake Shelton, we're so happy that you've joined the Catholic faith! As you grow deeper in the faith, we hope you'll consider following the path of many Catholic men by joining the Knights of Columbus. And, with that in mind, what better council for a country music legend to join than the one on Garth Brooks Boulevard?

You and Gwen are officially invited to our July 2 cookout and open meeting at St. John Nepomuk Catholic Church, and if you take us up on it, we'll make you a Knight of Columbus!

🌟Today's pilgrim spotlight🌟: Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani!
Shelton and Stefani visited the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine in Oklahoma City with Archbishop Paul Coakley; We are incredibly grateful for their visit to the shrine and hope for their return!

A big thanks to our Director of Pro-Life Programs, Deacon Larry Germann, for leading our Gift of Love Cash Raffle ticket sales once again this Spring. The drawing will be held Saturday evening at the Gift of Love Gala in Oklahoma City.

This year, we sold 222 tickets, raising $22,200 for the residents of the Center of Family Love. Yesterday, we were also informed that Yukon Council 6478 raised the most of any council in Oklahoma!!!!!!!!

This couldn't be done without the heartfelt generosity of our parishioners at St. John Nepomuk Catholic Church, our volunteer Brother Knights who sold tickets, and the leadership of Deacon Larry, who cares so deeply and advocates endlessly for those among us who are the most vulnerable.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!
