Brother Knights,
Please see the below email regarding the clergy appreciation dinner. In the past we have been able to get a groups of knights and their spouses to attend this event in honor of our priests, in addition to paying for our own clergy to attend. It would be great if we were able to get some knights from our council to attend. Please let me know by January 8th if you are interested in attending so we can get a spot reserved for you.
Thanks,
Seth
Please make reservations NOW. Early reservations helps us plan properly.

Knights of Columbus – Columbus Diocese

Lord, I am your servant.

We are pleased to announce that the Knights’ 24th Annual Clergy Appreciation Dinner will be January 29th, 2023. Reservation forms and letters have been emailed to all councils and can also be downloaded.  Click here for the informational letter and click here for the Registration Form. The dinner will be at the Villa Milano Banquet and Conference Center, 1630 Schrock Road, on Columbus’ north side. There will be a cash bar open at 6 PM and the dinner will begin promptly at 7 PM. Your council should make plans now and send in your reservations as soon as possible.

This event is our opportunity to thank all our clergy in the diocese for their hard work and dedication to our parishes and our Catholic faith — and is a terrific opportunity to demonstrate the Knights of Columbus’s steadfast support! Make sure to personally invite and purchase seating for both your interested council members, current and retired parish priests, and deacons (and their wives), your parish’s seminarians (or those seminarians you may support via programs like RSVP), and those religious engaged at your parishes!

PLEASE PURCHASE ADDITIONAL SEATING OR TABLES to sponsor those clergy/retired clergy/seminarians/religious not affiliated with a council. We deeply appreciate those councils who give so generously to show their support for those who wish to attend! This dinner only works if councils purchase full tables (regardless of how many are attending from your council) and additional tables. There are typically at least one hundred or more priests and religious who attend at no cost to themselves. The Knights make that possible because of councils which purchase additional seats and tables beyond their own requirements.

For additional information about the dinner, contact either Kevin Miller, Past State Deputy at 614-204-0204 or .

Please take the time to join with and honor our clergy at this important event!

Vivat Jesus!
