KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
The Knights of Columbus is a global Catholic fraternal organization committed to charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. Our local council — Father Ragan Council #3269 — proudly serves St. Joseph Parish and the Avon/Avon Lake communities through acts of service, faith-based initiatives, and charitable outreach. Rooted in Catholic values, our members strive to put their faith into action by supporting our parish, protecting the vulnerable, and promoting a culture of life. Whether hosting fundraising events, assisting parish ministries, or offering support to families in need, the Father Ragan Knights are dedicated to building a stronger Church and community.
Men on a Mission!
Founded in 1950, Father Ragan Council #3269 has a long and proud tradition of service in Avon and the surrounding communities. One of the council’s most enduring legacies is the construction of Father Ragan Hall — built by the Knights themselves — which continues to serve as a gathering place for charitable events, parish functions, and community outreach. Over the years, the council has organized food drives, supported local families in crisis, sponsored youth scholarships, and participated in initiatives such as Coats for Kids and Support for Seminarians. The Knights of Father Ragan Council remain a vital part of parish life, offering time, talent, and resources to strengthen our Catholic community and extend Christ’s love to those in need.
