About Our Council
The Knights of Columbus are everywhere at Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

During weekend Masses, Council 4603 Knights are greeters, lectors, ushers and Eucharistic ministers. We’re members of the Parish Council, Finance Board, Athletic Association, School Board, Athletic Association and virtually every other ministry in our parish.

We man the food tent and other booths at the annual Summer Festival and volunteer as bingo workers. We coach Our Lady’s boys’ and girls’ athletic team and sponsor a Boy Scout troop.

We’ve prepared dinners for OLPH’s altar servers and taken them to Ohio State hockey and Clippers baseball games.

Tens of thousands of dollars from our Lenten fish fries have been donated to almost every ministry at OLPH. Our one-time donation of $250,000 helped finance construction of our church.

Proceeds from our after-Mass pancake breakfasts help finance the school’s Guardian Angel tuition assistance program.

Council 4603’s tradition of faith, leadership and service – which continues to this day – began in 1958. A handful of OLPH’s most prominent men first met to discuss starting a Knights of Columbus council for our parish on Jan. 16, 1958. At this organizational meeting, Frank Forest was chosen temporary chairman and Robert Zwick was chosen temporary financial secretary.

Three months later – on April 29, 1958 – 23 OLPH men were exemplified as First Degree Knights and the following day these founders held the council’s first business meeting. The Rev. Richard Hoch, Our Lady’s pastor at the time, was elected Council 4603’s first chaplain.
