Greetings My Brothers,
Good Day All:
Congratulations to you all as we begin a new Columbian Year. I pray we continue to exemplify the principles set down by Blessed Michael J. McGivney of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism.
Remember we can only be successful if we and our members participate and get involved.
Grand Knight,
Michael Antonucci

In 1882, Father Michael J. McGivney gathered a small group of parishioners in St. Mary’s Church in New Haven, Connecticut. His purpose was to establish a group of men, united in their faith, and to provide for Catholic families in times of need. This was the beginning of the Knights of Columbus.
Guided by the principles of charity, unity, and fraternity, members of the Knights of Columbus work to overcome the hardships that people face in their parishes and communities. We are a growing organization — nearly 2 million members — and for over 130 years, we have committed to overcome the challenges of the need for food, shelter, warm clothing and financial security, as well as provide aid for widows and orphans in our local communities.
Joining your local council of the Knights of Columbus can change your life. As a Knight, you have the opportunity to strengthen your parish, give back to your community, grow in your faith and gain exclusive access to our portfolio of top-quality insurance products to financially protect your family. Councils conduct many programs that support your parish and community including:
But joining your local council does not mean that you need to sacrifice quality time with your family. In fact, volunteering an hour here or an hour there with your family can make an enormous impact in your life and in the lives of others.
If you’re interested in helping those in need in your parish and community, strengthening your parish and familial relationships, growing in your faith, and gaining exclusive access to top-quality insurance protection for you and your family, then joining your local Knights of Columbus council gives you the way to achieve these goals.
Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to men 18 years of age or older who are practical (that is, practicing) Catholics in union with the Holy See. This means that an applicant or member accepts the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live in accord with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in good standing in the Catholic Church.
In the event of the passing of a Brother Knight, it is
important that the family of the deceased member
notify the Council immediately so that a Council
wake service can be adequately planned.
Please notify any of the following:
Past Grand Knight Matt Antonucci-516-721-4169
Financial Secretary Phil Bruno- 516 586-3020
On August 12th, Saint James Parish and the Delaney Council celebrated Blessed Father McGivney with Holy Hour and a Votive Mass.
Special thank you to our Clergy for presiding.
Founder of the Knights of Columbus
God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender
of the widow and orphan, you called your priest,
Blessed Michael McGivney, to be an apostle of
Christian family life and to lead the young to the
generous service of their neighbor. Through the
example of his life and virtue, may we follow your
Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his
commandment of charity and building up his Body
which is the Church. Let the inspiration of your
servant prompt us to greater confidence in your
love so that we may continue his work of caring for
the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that you
glorify
Blessed Michael McGivney on earth according to
the design of your holy will. Through his
intercession, grant the favor I now present (here
make your request). Through Christ our Lord. Amen
