Council Honors

Our St. Pius X Knights Council is very proud of the fact that, in our (relatively short) history, we have often been recognized for the excellence of the programs we sponsor in the four "Knight's in Action" focus areas of Faith, Family, Community and Life.   Currently none of those honors is more significant than being recognized at the Supreme Convention in Orlando in 2023 as the International First Place Program winner in the "Family" category for our council's "Adopt a Widow" program.

2022-2023  International Family Program of the Year: Adopt a Widow

Knights from Council 14574 in Rochester, MN, sought ways to answer Blessed Michael McGivney’s vision to help widows and orphans. In response, they developed the Adopt-A-Widow program, where Knights adopt the widow of a deceased member of their council. In doing so, they make themselves available to assist with practical needs and to be present in each widow’s life, ensuring they have any community and support they may seek. Congratulations to Council 14574, winner of the 2022-2023 Family Program of the Year!
