Knights of Columbus Food Drive
With the cancellation of the normal “Scouting for Food” drive that happens this time of year, we are looking for other ways to help the hungry in our community. We have decided to run a drive by food drive here at OLQP. Please help us spread the word about this drive. We will be collecting at the OLQP Gym on Wednesday and Friday evenings (November 18th and 20th) from 5:30 –8:00 pm and on Saturday (November 21st) from 9:00 am –1:00 pm. You can drop off donations at the back door of the Gym on St. Mary Street. Please help us care for the hungry in our community.

Our chapter has over 300 members and is active in serving the Bethalto community and surrounding area. Recent council activities include such events as the annual Tootsie-Roll drive, volunteering for the Special Olympics, and sponsoring many other local programs for both young people and adults.

The Bethalto Knights of Columbus Council holds its meetings on the second and
fourth Monday of every month at Our Lady Queen of Peace Church. We say the rosary
beginning at 6:45 PM and the meeting starts immediately afterwards. There
we discuss our business and enjoy the company of our brother Knights.
If you are interested in serving your fellow man and joining the Knights
of Columbus, we invite you to speak with one of our Knights or send us a
message using the form on the Contact Us page and we will be glad to
answer your questions about the K of C.
We
invite you to browse our site and see the many activities
the K of C are involved in - one of which just might be something you
would enjoy helping with or learning more about.
Having sold its meeting hall, the Bethalto K of C Council no longer provides rental facilities to the public. Click here for a list of area K of C councils that do.
