Welcome to our website for the Knights of Columbus Council 10169 located in Lakeland, Florida. We serve the Church of the Resurrection Parish. We have several fund raising efforts that help many charities and vocations. Among these are Pregnancy Help Center, Talbot House Ministries, Faith in Education, Santa Fe Catholic High School, Resurrection Catholic School, and many others. We meet the second and fourth Tuesday’s of each month at 7:30pm in the Vernon Meeks Auditorium in the Resurrection Community Center. We are guided by our principles of charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. Please visit our site to learn more about us and email our Grand Knight if you would like additional information or to join us. |

Resurrection Chalice Program for Vocations Sponsored by Council 10169 The 2nd Vatican Council instructs us that it is the job of the laity to pray for and raise up vocations. We are involving all of our parishioners to join together and pray for vocations. Each Sunday, a parishioner(s) will take home a consecrated chalice and use it as a focal point while praying daily for an increase in religious vocations. In successive weeks, the chalice is passed to other parishioners. |
