- Knights of Columbus Council #2133
The Ellis Knights of Columbus Council #2133 are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, who are committed to making their community a better place, while supporting their Church. Being a Knight is more than camaraderie; it is being involved with your community; it is supporting your local Catholic Church, while enhancing your own faith; it is about protecting and enhancing your family life.
Meetings are the second (business) and fourth (social) Thursdays of the month. Activities of the Knights include the annual Tootsie Roll drive to benefit handicapped children, numerous breakfasts to raise funds for various causes, and running bingo on Sunday evenings at the Knights of Columbus Hall.
The Knights Hall is also available for social gatherings, such as weddings, dances and courtesy dinners.
For more information, contact Grand Knight Ralph Honas at 785-726-4633.
