For 40 years, the men and families of Council 9385 have served
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish and the Holmen community.
Whether you're new to the community, a young dad, want to get involved,
or have been a Knight for years, there's a place for you.
You don't have to do everything.
Just start with something.
The Knights was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works.
More Than Volunteering
Being a Knight isn't just about working events or attending meetings. It's about Catholic men helping one another become better husbands, fathers, friends, parishioners and men of faith while making a difference in our parish and community.

You Don't Have to do Everything
Life is busy. We get it.
Work. Kids. Family. Practices. School. Projects. Sports. Church.
Being a Knight doesn't mean attending every meeting or working every event.

Start with one thing.
Bring Your Family Along
|
Some of the best memories we make as Knights aren't at meetings. They're working alongside our kids, serving breakfast with our wives, setting up an event together, placed flags at the cemetery for Memorial Day, helping a neighbor and building friendships with other families. The Knights can be something your family is part of. Not simply another thing that takes you away from your family.

Who Will Build The Next 40 Years?
|
|
Forty years ago, Catholic men at St. Elizabeth stepped forward and built something.
Generations of Knights have kept it going. They've raised money. Helped neighbors. Supported our parish. Served families. Built friendships. And created traditions that have become part of our community. Now it's our turn. Our council needs the next generation of men willing to bring ideas, organize, serve and eventually lead. You don't have to be ready to lead today. |
There's A Place For You
Whether you're interested in becoming a Knight, you've been a member for years but haven't been involved lately, or you're ready to take on more responsibility — we'd like to hear from you.
Already A Knight?
