Community
Every community has its unique needs. For the Knights of Columbus, whose first principle is charity, finding ways to help those in need in their communities is a mission its members embrace. Through their good works, whether it be bringing food to the hungry, warm coats to the cold, wheelchairs to those who can’t walk, or any of the many other programs conducted to help those in need, the Knights of Columbus practices a charity that evangelizes.
These are just some of the ways our council ministers to the local community.
- Volunteerism
- Good Shepherd House
- Military
- Special Olympics
- Polar Plunge
- Columbus Day Dinner
- Parades
- 21 Day Flag Salute
- Health – Blood Pressure
- LAMB Foundation
The last, LAMB Foundation, is a major initiative of the Knights of Columbus in North Carolina. Our council maintains a leadership position in this worthy organization.

Wreaths Across America
The Fourth Degree Msgr. Christopler Dennen Assembly 2017 is a sponsor of Wreaths Across America, an organization that each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, coordinates wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 2,500 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea and abroad including Wilmington's National Cemetery.
The goal for Wilmington's National Cemetery is to place a wreath on each of the more than 5,200 graves. Wreaths cost $17 each and are delivered directly to the cemetery in time for Wreaths Across America Day which falls on December 16 this year. On that day volunteers from many organizations participate in placing the wreaths on the graves. In past years our sisters, the Columbiettes, and other local Knights councils lent hands.
Wreaths can be purchased by printing out this form and mailing the payment. Also, wreaths can be purchased on line here. In either case, you can designate the wreaths purchased "In Memory Of" a deceased veteran, or "In Honor Of" a living veteran.
