About Our Council

Thanks to the efforts of Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary’s Church in New Haven, CT and some of his parishioners, the Connecticut state legislature on March 29, 1882, officially chartered the Knights of Columbus as a fraternal benefit society. Throughout its history, the Knights of Columbus has been an effective advocate and defender of civil and religious rights for all. The organization has also contributed billions of dollars and millions of hours of volunteer service to charity worldwide.

Council 7447 has carried out the principals of charity started by Fr. McGivney by serving the Saint Catherine of Siena parish and Maury County, Tennessee community for 28 years. Since 1979, the “Brother Knights” of Council 7447 have contributed over 100,000 hours of service and thousands of dollars to the Church and community.

Council Meetings

Fourth Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. in the Social Hall at Saint Catherine of Siena. Rosary is at 6:30 p.m.

Fraternal Benefits News

Why buy life insurance? Why should I buy life insurance anyway?

Because, if your wife does become a widow, funds are created automatically. . . immediately. . . and at the least possible cost. Only life insurance will provide a steady income . . . a guaranteed amount month after month. With a check coming in monthly, she can budget accordingly......life insurance gives her a precious freedom of choice. She can work if she wants to . . . as a hobby. . . not as a necessity. She can live with her grown children if she pleases . . . as a welcome visitor. She can call on charitable agencies to offer help . . . not to ask for help. Life insurance is nothing less than an expression of your respect, your concern and your love of your wife and your family.

Call me today for an appointment. I want to hear from you. Please contact me by e-mail at Kevin.vandusen@kofc.org or by phone at 423-505-2827.

Vivat Jesus!
