Sullivan Knights of Columbus
     The Father Sutter Council #4858 of the Knights of Columbus  in Sullivan, MO serves three local parishes : St. Anthony, Sullivan, MO , Holy Martyrs of Japan, and St. Francis of Bourbon, MO .
     We are part of the world's largest fraternal, family oriented lay Catholic organization, which was started by am immigrant Irish Catholic priest, the Blessed Fr. Michael J. McGivney in 1882.  At that time, the purpose was to provide for the mutual benefit and aid (including insurance) to families that were being devastated by the passing of young fathers due to poor working conditions of the times.   See https://www.kofc.org/en/index.html
     Today, Knights of Columbus councils total over 2 million members throughout the world. We are all active in a number of endeavors to help our local parishes and communities.
     Our Council also has a Ladies Auxiliary hat helps support the men in their events as well as their own programs to meet local needs and charities. Any Catholic lady may apply for membership.
     We focus our efforts on a number of programs associated with supporting our church, youth  and community.
