Welcome to our St. Columbkill Knights of Columbus Council #16544 website.
My name is Pierre Chery and I am the Grand Knight. Our council is based out of St. Columbkill Church in Boyertown, PA.
The Knights of Columbus are here to help. We offer the Catholic faith formation, financial protection, and family resources that can help you grow as a father, husband, and leader. With the Knights, you can become the man you want to be.
We have been very active and have grown to over 100 faithful Catholic men since our Pastor, Fr. Martin Kern founded our council in September of 2016. Our council has such a diverse group of men from various ages and professions who love coming together to serve our lord, our Parish, and our Community. I truly believe we have something to offer for everyone that joins us.
Knights of Columbus around the world are committed to serving their families, parishes, and communities especially when it matters most. Why not you?
You can reach out to me directly via the contact page of this website or talk to any of our brother Knight.

Grand Knight
Please join us in honoring the recipient of the 2022 St. Columbkill Knights of Columbus, Parish Service Scholarship: Graduating high school senior Samuel Repko! Sam will be entering Kutztown University this fall. Congratulations Sam! The Knights Parish Service Scholarship is a $1500 scholarship that is awarded to graduating students in our Parish that are continuing their education.
The scholarship is a long held Parish tradition begun by the Holy Name Society and became a function of the St. C; K of C after our Knights council was founded.
Each year a selection committee is formed to evaluate applicants based on their activities in the Parish and a submitted essay.
In Addition! This year we were able to able to award a second $1500 scholarship based on the generous sponsorship of Al Letchak of AFL Investments, Royersford PA!
As a result, we are pleased to announce the recipient of the second scholarship:
Graduating high school senior Joseph Frattone! Joe will be attending the University of New Haven in the Fall. Congratulations Joe!
Al graciously wanted to support Catholic students that wish to further their education and decided that sponsoring a Knights Scholarship was a great way to do it.
