Welcome to the website & the virtual-chambers of the Monsignor Martin B. Power (link to his biography) Council 14573 of the Knights of Columbus . Our council serves the Ascension Catholic Community of Melbourne , Florida.

If you are a practicing Catholic man age 18 or over, we invite you to become a Knight. Please visit our Membership Lobby for information about how to be sponsored for membership in our venerable & fraternal organization of Catholic Gentlemen Knights.

If you find that you are in need of more information or assistance please feel free to contact any of our Officers or Program Directors . Our Webmaster can help you with any technical issues.

Feel free to tour our council chambers and look around. The Calendar Room has all our currently planned activities. Visit this room often since information changes frequently as we respond to dynamically changing community needs. The Pictures Gallery and Trophy Room contain images and award recognitions to give just a sample of the many charitable and fraternal activities that our council is involved with. Knight's in good-standing are granted access by the Warden to the council's Inner-Chambers (members-only). If you are a knight who is too long absent from these hallowed halls (on charitable quests or other adventures) the Warden will hail you before granting access. If you are denied entrance yet are a knight in good standing who is mistaken for a "stranger" please immediately contact a brother knight for the current pass phrases.

Another room that all may vist from this home ante-chamber is the Council Library. The Library has a rich selection of referrals with linkage to many profoundly wise and interesting Catholic and knights related information resources. All these are trusted friends of ours. Take heed you do not get lost here. Our council virtual chambers are large and under much construction as we progressively expand and grow our capacity to better serve this realm. If you do get lost you may return here to this outer "home" ante-chamber at any time by pressing the Knights Logo . It's located in the upper left corner of the council banner -- which is visable from any room you may enter. From this current location you may also visit the Map Room or press any of the convenient instant access portal buttons along the top or bottom and thereby gain instant access to any authorized place within these council chambers. Enjoy!

Bingo Food Preperation Helpers Needed Every 3rd Monday at 3PM-5:30PM
Brother Knights, our regular bunch of Knights Bingo Hall servers could use some relief. Need volunteer workers every 3rd Monday to help prepare food for the event. Duty is fun and goes fast. Proceeds of Bingo go directly toward helping subsidize the cost of Catholic education. Contact Norm Boudreau 427-0580 (cell) for details.

Daily Bread - Volunteers needed Each 4th Sunday from 10:30 AM-2:30 PM
Our council is BIG on community charity and is committed to helping out at the Daily Bread soup kitchen every 4th Sunday of the month. This is an outstanding opportunity to give back to the community by helping less fortunate members of our larger human community. All God's Children! We need approximately 12 volunteers and are always in need of fresh help to give relief to our regular brother knights who support this on an ongoing basis. So brothers, please lend a hand and get involved in this worthwhile and much needed activity. Contact Brother Knight Matt Nanna for details 717-433-2371 (cell).

Unborn Child Memorial Needs Helpers to Maintain Grounds
Now that the Unborn Child Memorial is dedicated it is important to maintain these hallowed and consecrated grounds. Jim Chatman has been volunteering a lot of his time to this task and would welcome any help on Saturday mornings. Please contact Jim (238-8963) for his schedule if you can spare about 1 hr now and then to help pull weeds, water and perform grounds upkeep.
