Christmas Party Helps Gather and Grow Food Shelf
The Waconia Knights celebrated Christmas on December 17th together with over 80 brother Knights and family members. Through free will donations that evening, the Knights raised $1,000 that was donated to the Gather and Grow Food Shelf. The goal of Food for Families is to ensure that as few as possible go to bed hungry each night. Many in our community are struggling through hardship and are unable to provide food for their families.

The Knights of Columbus are committed to helping end hunger through the Food for Families program, which donates to our local Food Shelf.

Exemplification - Welcome New Members!
On Sunday December 15th, our council held its fall exemplification ceremony in the church after the 10:30 AM Mass. We were excited to have Father Stan attend the ceremony and serve as the Chaplain during the event. We were able to add seven new members: Cesar Merino, Matt Bell, Eric Menth, Erik Olson, Josh Sell, Chris Carlson, and Kevin Carlson. We also had three new members that joined the Chaska Council # 9141 and had two of our own 1st Degree Knights who completed their 3rd Degree status: Dave Philip and Logan Haskins. Congrats to all!!
