The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men's fraternal benefit society committed to making the community a better place while supporting the Church. Catholic men, 18 and older, who want to inquire about membership are invited to contact Jim Purdy.
Highlights of the year for the Holy Cross Council (595) of Lynchburg include the Haunted House (raising money for KoVAR, Knights of Virginia Assisting Citizens with Mental Retardation), several dances throughout the year, and other events. We host Bingo at 7pm on Thursday nights; proceeds go to benefit the community.
The Knights of Columbus meet at 200 Sweeney Circle, Forest, VA 24551, near Lynchburg. To rent the hall for wedding receptions or other events, contact Dan Morris, 434-944-7595.
If you're a member of this council and want to be on this mailing list, send your name and email to Will Briggs.
