San Patricio County Knights

When the Knights of Columbus were formed in March of 1882, the guiding principles that have sustained our Order have been Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. Knights have united in these principles to support the Church, support programs of evangelization, Catholic education, civic involvement and to aid those in need.

Catholic men have volunteered their time and their energy to make these words a reality.

When the San Patricio County Knights of Columbus Council #6413 Portland, Texas was formed in February of 1973, Men, your family, your neighbors, your friends committed their efforts to bring the principles of the Knights of Columbus to our parish and our community.

This month we remember and honor those brother Knights that have served our church and community but are no longer with us. By remembering their deeds and their dedication, we can continue their work. From their place in eternity may they see that what they started continues to provide their families, their church and their community the love and support they began.

A special Mass was held to honor our past Knights with a special attendance of the widows who were presented a yellow rose as they entered the church. Each name of the deceased knight member was read.
