Naples, Florida
The St. Agnes Council, Columbiette Auxiliary and Assembly are comprised of approximately 400 Knights, Sir Knights and Columbiettes who reside in and around Naples, FL. as active members of the St. Agnes Parish. Our collective mission is to empower Catholic men and women to live their faith at home, in their parish, at work and in our Naples community.
Council 14202 consists of Parish Knights of Columbus that have earned the core first three degrees of the order (Charity, Unity and Fraternity) while Assembly 3094 consists of Sir Knights that have additionally earned the final or 4th Degree of the order (Patriotism) which is the primary focus of the Assembly’s Programs.
The Columbiettes are a sisterhood of women, 18 and older, from all walks of life, who are united by our shared Catholic faith, the love for our country, and our deep commitment to helping others. We are an affiliated Auxiliary of the Knights of Columbus. As Columbiettes, we are a non-profit charitable group who support many worthy causes, and we also work side by side with our Brother Knights of Columbus to advance the premises of faith, unity and charity. Columbiettes volunteer time and talents to projects that lift, strengthen and support our parish and communities in need, in the name of our patronesses Blessed Virgin Mary Our Mother, St. Therese the Little Flower, and St Joan of Arc.
All meetings are held at St. Agnes Parish Center located at 7775 Vanderbilt Beach Road, Naples, FL 34120.
The St. Agnes Knights of Columbus Programs complement, support and extend the Parish Programs and center on Faith, Family, Community and Life.
Faith
Our goal is to strengthen men, women and their families in the Catholic faith. Formation in our faith goes beyond mere facts or religious practice to an authentic connection with a loving God and his son Jesus Christ. Knights of Columbus programs in this category are designed to draw us closer to God and the Church in a tangible and meaningful way.
Family
Father McGivney (founder of the Knights of Columbus) sought to strengthen the familial bond of father to mother and children to parents. His vision for family life was not only financial and material aid but also spiritual strength. The majority of our time is easily spent in secular circles unless we intentionally create ways to live the domestic church. Our programs, created for families by families, help us to live this call.
Community
Knights and Columbiettes are called to serve others. Our first principle is Charity – at home with our families and in our communities. When our Knights of Columbus members come together as one through their council and parish, they accomplish great things.
Life
"Catholics must be committed to the defense of life in all its stages and in every condition" (St. John Paul II, 1995). The Knights of Columbus vigorously defends the dignity of each human being at every stage of life. The St. Agnes Knights of Columbus works to build a culture of life and a civilization of love through our important Programs such as the Baby Bottle Drive and our Tootsie Roll Drive.
