-
Saint John’s Knights of Council 13467 and their Ladies have become the core and 85% solution in Saint John’s Sacramental Life. Of the 174 Knights currently in Council 13467 I can not think of more than a handful of Brothers and or their Ladies that have not participated in one of the sacramental programs our Councils leads in our parish. The Knights of Columbus are the spiritual centerpiece of Catholicity at Saint John’s and a role model for the rest of the Diocese of Richmond and the State Council of Virginia. We should highlight that this program was recognized as the best State Church Program for the State of Virginia for FY 2009.
Vocation Support
-
With Priestly vocation support run through PGK PFN Mel Pritchard the council has established a fund to help defray the cost of the seminary for a Seminarian. Currently supporting Deacon (transitional) Eric Ayers who interned at Saint Johns several years ago in his journey Council 13467 prays for and financially helps any seminarian at the behest of the Vicar for Clergy for the Diocese of Richmond.
Keep Christ in Christmas

Keep Christ in Christmas is the Knights of Columbus program designed to Keep the reason for the season foremost in everyone's mind. Through the use of Christ themed Christmas cards and memorabilia the Knights of Columbus want to let everyone help remind their family, this nation and the world that Christ is the reason for the Christmas season.
