Knights of Columbus Council 13341 is a brotherhood of Catholic men dedicated to charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism.  These are the Four pillars of the Knights.  Through faith-driven service, we support our parish, assist those in need, and strengthen our local community.

We host a variety of events throughout the year that bring faith, family, and service together. From community favorites like our Blood Drives, Classic Car Show, Fish Frys, Breakfast with St. Nick to supporting Spring Training baseball concessions, these events help benefit local and national charities as well as our parish, Our Lady of the Angels.

Our Council, led by Grand Knight Gordon Shellhaas, is one of the largest and most active in the state of Florida with over 400 dedicated brothers. Together, we serve our parish and community with faith, fellowship, and a shared commitment to making a difference.

Joining the Knights of Columbus is a meaningful way to live out your faith, give back to the community, and grow as a Catholic man. Whether through volunteering, supporting parish initiatives, or serving those in need, your involvement makes a lasting impact.

A Message From Our Grand Knight

Welcome to the Knights of Columbus Saints Cosmas and Damian Council #13341. We are a vibrant and active council consisting of 450+ members. 

 

On behalf of our Council, I extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to you. As Knights of Columbus, we are a brotherhood of Catholic men united by our guiding principles: Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism.

 

Our mission is simple yet profound: to support our local parish, serve those in need, and strengthen one another in faith. Whether we are running a charity drive, hosting a fellowship event, or simply lending a helping hand to a neighbor, our actions are rooted in the teachings of Christ.

 

Father Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus to protect families and build a community of faithful men. Today, we strive to live out that legacy by being devoted husbands, fathers, and active members of our Church.

 

To our Brother Knights: thank you for your continued dedication. To the men of our parish: I invite you to answer the call. Joining our council is a powerful way to grow in your faith, build lasting friendships, and make a tangible difference in our community. Thank you for visiting, and may God bless you and your families.

Vivat Jesus!
