KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Coos Council 1261 began in 1907, consisting of Catholic men from the area parishes, dedicated to the Protection of the Faith and Service. That tradition has continued and their outreach has grown to include Honor Guards at Special Masses and events, along with lay ministry and ushering at Masses. The Knights are instrumental in planning and Organizing such events as the Life Chain, Unity Day Picnic, Easter Egg Hunt, Mother’s Day Brunch and the Christmas basket Project-which provides more than 700 needy families in the Bay Area with food.LITURGY COMMISSION
