Did you know that many children and adults go without a coat each winter? Many children cannot afford this vital necessity. A warm coat means a child can attend school, play and do other things that kids do to be kids.

The Knights of Columbus, Fr. John E. Doyle Council is once again sponsoring a Coats for Kids
drive to benefit the children of our sister parish, Visitation BVM in the Kensington section of Philadelphia and Catholic Services in Philadelphia.

We encourage you to donate new or lightly used winter clothing on the weekends of October
31/November 1 and November 7/8. In lieu of clothing, cash or check donations will be accepted
with proceeds being used to buy new coats directly through the Coats for Kids program. Make checks to: Knights of Columbus Council #9715.
For more information, please contact Mike Becker at (215) 896-4691

KofC on line

Getting involved doesn’t need to take a lot of your time. 

Here are some of the ways you can make a difference without a big time commitment:

  • Spend a half hour after mass staffing a table or handing out information for one of our service projects.  (We collected over $19,000 for VBVM Parrish during our Easter Basket fundraiser.) 
  • Sign up to spend a few hours collecting change to support Special Olympics. (The Father Doyle Council has collected more funds for people with disabilities than any other council in the state of Pennsylvania for several years in a row!)
  • For about an hour after 4:30 mass, help set up for a pancake breakfast.
  • Volunteer a few times a month to collect and deliver day-old baked goods to a local food pantry or homeless shelter.  (Over 8,000 pounds of food that would have gone to waste was delivered by our council this year.)
  • Attend a work day helping to update and maintain the facilities at Guiding Star Ministries, a home for unwed mothers. 
  • Attend council or auxiliary meetings.

Please visit our Photo Gallery for pictures of our Knights in action at our various events and activities.  (Send us your pictures!  Knights and Ladies – If you have pictures to share from your events or meetings, please email Tom Ahart at tom.ahart@gmail.com so we can post them. )

Why become a Knight?

Our Mission
Father John E. Doyle Council of the Knights of Columbus is a Roman Catholic fraternal organization that supports the Catholic Church, our Community, and our Nation with our time, our fundraising, and our prayers. We are particularly supportive of the vocation of the Priesthood, the parishes of St. Rose of Lima and Corpus Christi, the unborn child, Catholic youth and schools, and the charitable organizations in our local community.

About Us
The Father John E. Doyle Council was founded in 1988 by parishioners from St. Rose of Lima in North Wales and Corpus Christi in Lansdale/Upper Gwynedd Pennsylvania.

The Father John E. Doyle Council still serves both parishes faithfully. Our council raises and donates about $8000 for charitable causes, and more than 2,000 hours of service to the community and church.

If you are a Catholic gentleman of 18 years and in communion with the Holy See, we’d like you to join us for a most rewarding experience! No experience necessary! We only ask you donate as much of your time that you are comfortable donating (and of course, a small amount of annual dues). Please contact the Grand Knight if you are interested in joining us!
