Knights of Columbus Council 11514, St Peter Catholic Church, was chartered under the Supreme Council in 1995 at the behest of Rev. Fr. Robert (Bob) E. Jaeger, Pastor of St. Peter Catholic Church, Monument, Colorado. Jim Taylor was the council's first grand knight. The council is involved in many activities that promote the welfare of the parish, community, family, and charitable causes.

Knights Making News
Picture
Sir Knight John Hartling did not think twice about departing for Florida to help victims of Hurricane Irma. He was accompanied by his son Patrick who is an EMT. They traveled with an ambulance crew to help where they could. John is certified by the American Red Cross as a shelter manager and has managed local shelters in minor disasters, but this time it was of a much larger magnitude. Once in Florida, he was assigned to manage a 250-bed shelter for a two week period that involved 16 to 18 hour days for him. Returning to Monument, John had many stories to share – some tragic, some humorous, and one with him getting in the middle of a fist fight and ending up with a “shiner” trying to break it up.

Sir Knight Fred Seiter explains the upcoming Tootsie Roll Campaign to assembled members at a Council business meeting. Fred once again volunteered to chair the campaign and coordinated with Safeway, King Soopers and Wal-Mart to allow Knights to stand outside their stores and solicit funds from customers. Then he had the task of recruiting council members to actually stand outside those stores for two hour shifts regardless of the weather. While not known to most Knights of the Council, Fred had to fill in when members could not fulfill their assigned time slots or when no one volunteered to fill a slot. Thanks for going beyond the call of duty, Fred! Because of your efforts, and the Knights who helped at each store, a total of $2,843.06 was raised for the intellectually handicapped in the Tri Lakes area.
