Knights of Columbus Council 1077 Becomes a Star Council

The Evanston Knights of Columbus Council 1077 has received the distinction of Star Council for 2023-2024, the international organization’s top award for local councils. They were presented with a commemorative plaque at a special Mass on Veteran's Day at St. Mary Church. The Star Council Award recognizes overall excellence in the areas of membership, promotion of fraternal insurance benefits, sponsorship of faith formation programs and service-oriented activities.

Council 1077 earned this distinction through its contribution to the Pope John XXIII parish and Evanston Community. Notable activities include support for the Evanston soup kitchen, vocations assistance for aspiring clergy, parish social activities including the Lenten Fish Fry, pancake breakfasts, and the ever popular donut day in January! In addition, Council 1077 participates with other Knights of Columbus Councils in supporting persons with disabilities through our yearly Tootsie Roll Drive.

The Knights of Columbus is one of the world’s leading fraternal and service organizations with over 2 million members in more than 16,000 parish-based councils.
