Questions about . . .
. . . getting assistance or help.
Our Catholic faith teaches us to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Members of the Knights of Columbus show love for their neighbors by conducting food drives and donating the food to local soup kitchens and food pantries, by volunteering at many, many local events, and by supporting, both spiritually and materially, mothers who choose life for their babies. Knights recognize that our mission, and our faith in God, compels us to action. There is no better way to experience love and compassion than by helping those in need, a call we answer every day.
If you know of someone that is unable to get the help they need within the Delphos and surrounding community, let us know, we will do our best to provide and/or find the assistance that is needed.

. . . the Catholic church & beliefs.
Becoming Catholic is one of life’s most profound and joyous experiences. Some are blessed enough to receive this great gift while they are infants, and, over time, they recognize the enormous grace that has been bestowed on them. Others enter the Catholic fold when they are older children or adults. No matter when or how you became Catholic it is how you carry out the mission of Christ that truly defines your faith. To learn more about the church give us a call or join us at any one of our weekend Masses. See the parish of your choice: St. John the Evangelist in Delphos, St. John the Baptist in Landeck, St. Joseph in Fort Jennings, or St. Patrick in Spencerville.
