Council Activities

C&B Fund

The C&B Fund is the KofC's main source of fundraising. The funds from the C&B drive are used to fund, grants for scholarships, local charities, and communities.

Thanksgiving Turkey & Food Baskets

Each year the Joseph Barry Council collects donations of turkeys, hams, and money which enables us to purchase additional groceries and make up between 80 to 100 food baskets. Working with St. Ignatius Human Services these baskets are distributed to families in our local community.

These baskets not only provide a Thanksgiving Meal for families who may not have enjoyed one, but also provide several days of groceries in addition.

Keep Christ in Christmas

As each year passes more organizations are focused on the "Holidays", and sales. The Joseph Barry Council members can be seen posting reminder signs about the true meaning of Christmas. 20+ signs posted in our community reminding us all to "Keep Christ in Christmas"

The Past Grand Knight Lawrence Trubinski Scholarship Fund

The Council awards each year two (2) High School Scholarships of $500 each and two (2) College Scholarships of $1,000 each. The High School Scholarships are only awarded to students who will attend Catholic High Schools. The awards each year are based on the scholastic aptitude of the applicants, their involvement in home, church, school and community activities and the financial needs of the family. The applicant must be a son, daughter or legal ward of a member of the Council in good standing. Children of deceased members, whose demise occurred while in good standing, are also eligible.
