Council #3673 is Awarded One of the Highest Honors from the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council for the 2019-2020 Fraternal Year (July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020)

The Fr. Joseph D. Gallagher Council #3673 at Holy Trinity Parish was awarded the Columbian, Father McGivney, and Founder’s Awards for the 2019 – 2020 Fraternal Year for their work in the Holy Trinity and Morrisville communities. This Council provided appropriate activities within the Parish, increased the membership within the Council, and worked to promote the Knights of Columbus’ award winning insurance programs. Based on this performance, the Council was also awarded a Triple Star, based on membership performance. This is only the second time in the Council’s 67-year history that the Council was recognized as a Star Council, and the first time ever being recognized as a Multi-Star Council. The Council has worked to provide programming and events to continue the mission of the Knights of Columbus and provide the Catholic Gentlemen of Holy Trinity Parish to continue to demonstrate their Faith in Action.

District Deputy (16) Stephen Beltle (Back)  presents the Fr. McGivney, Founders, and Columbian Award Plaque and the Triple Star Council Award to (L to R) Deputy Grand Knight James J. King, Chaplain Monsignor John C. Eckert, and Grand Knight Joseph D. Pargola.

Council #3673 is one (1) of a small number of  Knights of Columbus Councils to achieve awards from the Supreme Council. There were 7,024 Councils, of 16,242 Councils worldwide that received at least one (1) of the Supreme Council Awards.
