The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic organization that is open to all practicing Catholic men in good standing with the Church 18 years and older. The K of C was founded by the Venerable Michael J. McGivney on February 6, 1882, in New Haven, CT.
The Founding Principles that all Knights follow are Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism, with Charity being the greatest. Although only practicing Catholics may join the Knights, our Charily goes out to anyone who may be in need.
Council 14368 meets the first Thursday of the month at St. Cecilia parish hall at 7:00pm. Any Knight or Sir Knight is welcome to attend.
If you have questions about, or are interested in joining the Knights of Columbus, please contact Carl Martikean at 219-617-1401 or C.
The Men's Club meets the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 6:00pm in the church hall. Each year we sponsor Pancake Breakfasts, as well as Fish Fries during the seasons of Advent and Lent. The Men's Club also serves a pancake breakfast to all CCD students and Catechists at the close of the religious education school year. All men of the parish are welcome. Our annual dues are $10.
The Ladies' Sodality meets on the 3rd Tuesday of every month (except June, July & August) at 9:30 am in the church hall. We offer refreshments before every meeting. We open with prayer, and words from a member who has volunteered to be that month's spiritual leader. The main mission of our sodality is to support St. Cecilia's religious education program. We sponsor two main events each year, our Salad Bar Luncheon, held on the last Wednesday of April. We also sponsor an annual Ladies' Appreciation Luncheon, (at no cost to paid members) for all of the work the ladies do during the year. All ladies of the parish are welcome to attend our meetings. Annual dues are $10.00.
