About the Knights of Columbus Council #456 

            Our Council 456 was chartered in 1900.  Our social hall at 218 S. 4^th St. was built in 1954.

            Our 445 member organization is here to serve our 4 Lafayette parishes.  Our parish Roundtables have been providing some very successful monthly Sunday breakfasts at some of our parishes with proceeds supporting parish projects.   We have been known to be volunteer painters in parish grade schools and car garages.

            Our main events in 2011 are:

·         Our 3^rd annual K of C Father’s Day Golf Outing on Saturday June 18^th,  supporting the Dr. Jim Pickerill  Tuition Assistance Fund by KofC Council 456 and Gilbault Home for Children.

·         The Inaugural K of C Car Show on the C.C. parking lot, July 9^th.  Proceeds going to CC Capital Improvement Fund.  
( see events & activities for further details on these 2 events)

·         Providing financial support for seminarians & religious sisters.

·         Pro-Life organizations in our community.
