Established 2003

Dan Remeika of the Michigan State Council made a presentation about the Knights and the good work they do. He challenged the men of the parish to gather and form a council. Within a month, we had assembled the requisite 30 men who were willing to join.

A 1st-Degree ceremony was held in Paddy Hall in which the members were initiated.

From there, the council sought out ways to make a difference.

In the first few years, the charitable giving was limited as the council relied mostly on dues money to fund its work. But that changed with the creation of the Lenten Fish Fries in 2005.

Denny Behen, who later became a brother Knight, had owned the Bogey Lake Golf Course, where he served a famous fried fish dinner at what he called Bogey Bashes. The dinners developed a huge following but that ended when the course closed in 2003.
