The K of C Ladies Auxiliary is a women’s organization that collaborates side-by-side with the Knights of Columbus in spiritual, social, charitable, and monetary ways. Membership is open to any relation of a Knight of Columbus. Members must be 18 years of age or older.
St. Pope Pius X in Forestville refers to its auxiliary as the QUEENS. They are known in other places as the COLUMBIETTES (to distinguish them from the auxiliaries of the Knights of St. John or from those of the VFW). The Ladies Auxiliary to the Knights of Columbus primarily function by collaborating on activities, cooking for events and providing monetary help (from their own fundraisers). They would also assist with setting up and beautifying the hall for events.
The Ladies Auxiliary group has officers and structure: a president, vice president, treasurer and secretary. They routinely require some small amount in annual dues, maybe $10 or so.
Activities for such organizations include assistance of the Crisis Pregnancy Centers, assisting Women in Distress, charity work, flea markets and bazaars, preparing special dinners, etc. Meetings are usually held monthly but can be more frequent.
The institution of the Auxiliary here is still pending.
O great and glorious God, You imbued Your holy priest. Father Michael J. McGivney, with deep priestly virtue and especially with pastoral concern for the poor, the orphan, the widow, for the Christian education of youth, for the protection of the faith of the working man of his day.
Now that his priestly ministry continues to spread to countless millions throughout the world, through the efforts and influence of the Order of the Knights of Columbus, which Father McGivney founded, we beseech Your, Heavenly Father, to raise Your faithful servant, Michael, to the honors of the altar. We ask this favor through our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother, Mary and our Mother, Amen.
