As part of the annual Coats for Kids program, The Knights visited HUGS warehouse on October 20, 2021 and donated 48 newly purchased coats (24 boys, 24 girls, assorted sizes) to HUGS of St Augustine. HUGS works with homeless students throughout St Johns county providing clothing and food for these children. They work closely with school counselors and student services staff to identify needs.

Congratulations and welcome to our newest seven Sir Knights: Andy Van Ohlen, Thomas Reif, James Plum, Peter Falcone, Robert Capone and Robert Biggs, Joseph Shannon.  Attached are pictures.  
They were exemplified on Saturday, October 9, 2021 at St John Paul II Catholic Church via a live streamed ceremony led by Florida District Master John J O’Toole from a studio in Pompano Beach, FL.  A portion of the exemplification was performed by Assembly 3771 members.
Please extend your congratulations to these Catholic American Citizens and gentlemen.

The Knights of Columbus St. John Paul II Council 16492 purchased, donated and set-up the kiosk with pamphlets in the church at Our Lady of La Leche Shrine in St Augustine, FL. A true sanctuary of prayer/devotion for thousands of visitors each year who attend mass and visit the grounds. It has been well received by the Director, Rector and Priests.

This year the Knights of Columbus are working with the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund. The Jay Fund’s mission is to BE THERE for families tackling childhood cancer by paying household bills, creating a financial game plan, and making a child’s life brighter.
