Ambrose Church in Bridgeport, CT. The Council took it's name from the founding pastor of the parish, Msgr. Thomas Mooney. When the parish closed the council was welcomed to our current location at Our Lady of Grace parish in Stratford, CT. Schultz, who was also a member of the knights, as is Msgr. Ryan, our current Chaplain and an active member who attends meetings regularly. Members are Ushers, Extraordinary Ministers, Lectors, CCD Instructors and more. We're fathers, brothers, sons, uncles and friends trying to strengthen our families, parish and community. We strongly support the parish Religious Education program, and have an ongoing Food For Families program supporting the Daughters of Charity food bank as well as assisting Sterling House Girl Scout troop's food program. We've hosted the parish's annual Church Picnic since moving into Our Lady of Grace as well as a monthly Country Breakfast and annual Breakfast with Santa. Some other things we do:
Sacramental Gift Progam which provides regocnition to all who are baptized, receive 1st communion, confirmation or marry in our parish. Support a local seminarian
Host an annual Free Ice Cream Family Week Social
Help those in the parish with "Food Insecurity"
In fact, wherever you see parish activity, chances are there is a knight presence. You see us all the time, although you may not know we are members of the knights. We continue to look for ways to grow our support of the parish and by extension, our community. We have a very active membership and are always looking for men who would like to work "shoulder to shoulder" with us so we may continue to strengthen these programs and do more. Membership is open to all practical (practicing) Catholic men 18 years old or older. If you would like to more information on the Knights of Columbus, send us a note using our contact page or you may visit the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council website. Meetings are held monthly on the 2nd Monday and begin at 7:30 p.m.
