The Knights of Columbus Council 9597 extends to all a giant THANK YOU to the parishioners at Our Lady of Fatima and their friends and extended families for your fantastic support of our 2020 Peaches for Seminarians Donation program! In absence of our regular peach program, the Knights received donations totaling in excess of $9,500 which will allow us to provide $500 each to 19 seminarians in their journey to become priests.
As a way of showing our appreciation for your tremendous support of our program, the Knights have a special gift for each of the donors. You may pick up your gift anytime in the basket at the Miller St. entrance.
The Knights would also like to thank the OLF staff for all of their support, especially for accepting and processing the donations that were mailed or dropped by the church office.
The Knights are looking forward to 2021 with the anticipation for a great peach crop to be produced by the fruitgrowers in the Palisade valley in western Colorado.

Brother Knights. I have uploaded the two most recent meeting minutes (March and April) and updated the Honored Knights page. Visit the page here and see the most recent Knights of the Month.
A big thank you to all of the Brother Knights who were able to come out and help at the food drive today. We were able to raise over $4,000 and filled two vans with food for the Marisol Home and the Little Sister’s food pantries. Great work Brothers.

Our council will be hosting a food drive on Saturday May 9th from 9am to 2 pm to benefit Marisol House and the Little Sisters. Everyone is encouraged to bring non-perishable food, and/or a donation to help feed our neighbors impacted by this global pandemic. Details below:
Brother Knights,
Since the Archdiocese has cancelled all masses this weekend it means we will not have the Soup Supper tonight and we will not have the Pancake Breakfast on Sunday. We still do plan on cleaning up W 15th Pl on Saturday starting at 8:30 AM.

Brother Knights,The Knights of Columbus has officially transitioned to a new Exemplification for welcoming new members to the Knights. Our Exemplification of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity is now a public event and all are welcome to attend. If you are a 1st or 2nd degree Knight, this event is for you. Once we conclude the ceremony all will be 3rd degree Knights. The program takes about 30 minutes. Our first new Exemplification will take place March 29th at 12:30 pm in the Our Lady of Fatima Church. We will have a reception and a welcoming gathering afterward in the Parish Hall.
Anyone who is a 1st or 2nd degree Knight who would like to earn their 3rd degree, Please contact John Pickard at 303-980-8912. Also, this is an opportunity to invite anyone you know who wants to join the Knights to get all three degrees in one short ceremony.
