The Knights of Columbus Family of Man Council’s quarterly Red Cross Blood Drive at Saint John Neumann will be Saturday, December 4, 2021, from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM in classrooms A2/A3 of the Parish Center. This time of year, blood drives across the country are often affected by seasonal illness and winter weather.

On Saturday, October 23rd, six Knights from the Family of Man Council did late Fall landscape maintenance at the Old Trail Drive Gabriel Home in Reston. The Knights weeded the front, rear and side yards, raked leaves and other debris from these areas and cut back years of english ivy growth that was growing on the home. Altogether, the Knights cleaned up 14 tall bags of weeds, leaves, ivy and other landscape debris. The Knights also adjusted and reset the solar landscape lights around the front parking area leading to the house.
The Family of Man Council #7566 of the Knights of Columbus is organizing a "Knights on Bikes" event on Saturday, October 30, 2021. We invite all Catholic men who are interested in learning about the Knights at St. John Neumann Parish to join us for a pleasant and easy bike ride along the W&OD trail. This is a great opportunity for you to meet some of the Knights and learn about our charitable and fraternal work.
