Visit kofc6824.org/parking/ or our latest blog post at KofC6824.org The farm is located at 4780 Seymour Lake Rd, Oxford, MI 48371. It was started in 1977 by Frank and

For the past few years St. Anne Knights have sponsored a section of Oakwood Road East from M15. Early last Saturday you may have seen your fellow parishioners in dayglo yellow vests picking up trash. We don’t get money for this. Twice a year we do our part to beautify our town because it fits

The 9th annual Bob Knowles Memorial Sporting Clays Fun Shoot occurred on May 17th. Dedicated to a cherished Knight and Parishioner, the yearly fundraiser is one way we blend the three main tenets of the Knights of Columbus: Charity, Unity and Fraternity. This year there were 45 shooters who raised $1,500 each for Brandon Special

I’m pleased to announce the success of our 2025 MI drive! (MI stands for Mentally Impaired; better known as the Tootsie Roll Drive.) 33 Knights and wives covered 40 shifts Palm Sunday weekend and collected over $6,000. That beats 2024!

Our yearly support (which results in a generous donation for our local charities) is always

The Russian invasion of Ukraine spurred one of the largest relief efforts in Knights of Columbus history. Since February 24, 2022, we have prayed for peace, collected more than $23.4 million for the Ukraine Solidarity Fund and worked tirelessly to bring help to more than 1.6 million victims of war – particularly refugees, children, widows

I learned something amazing my first shift parking cars at Candycane CHRISTmas tree farm. (I admit, I wasn’t looking forward to standing in freezing weather for hours on my Thanksgiving weekend). What I learned? EVERYONE who gets out of a car at a Christmas tree farm is filled with the Christmas spirit! It’s truly inspiring.

This weekend concludes our Frank’s Farm Market for 2024. Frank Genovese was a prolific gardener (in addition to Master Christmas Tree farmer) with his wife Cathy. I first met Frank many years ago in an all-day organic gardening workshop he taught at the 4H Fairgrounds. I attended with my mom, and I came away with

The Knights are picking pumpkins and corn stalks in support of Cook’s Farm Dairy again, starting this week through the end of the month. Anyone can come help (supervised children must be old enough to repeatedly pick up a large pumpkin). They pay in free Ice Cream at the end! And they donated $2,700 to
