Please join us in welcoming our newest member, Jack Tylus, a lifelong local resident and dedicated servant of the Church. A Carman High ('75) and UM-Flint ('79) alumnus, he retired 5 years ago after 30 years with AT&T. He and his wife of 41 years, Valerie, are members of St. Mary Queen of Angels and have three daughters and six grandchildren.

Jack transferred his membership to our council on January 12th, and brings over 20 years of distinguished leadership with him, including service as a Past Grand Knight (Council 695) and Past Faithful Navigator (Assembly 510), where he currently serves as Admiral.

Jack remains deeply involved in our community as a member of the Swartz Creek Historical Society, the Swartz Creek Senior Center, and the All Saints Chapel committee to be built at Powers High School. His commitment to service is further highlighted by his years of work on the Catholic Charities Sub-Committee for funding of Sacred Heart Veterans Village.  We are honored to have his experience and faith among us! Welcome, Jack, to Swartz Creek Council 6694!

Please join us in welcoming our newest brother, Vincent Michael Good, who received full membership into the order with his participation in the Exemplification of Charity, Unity and Fraternity held on Saturday, December 20th, at St. Michael Byzantine, Flushing. Known as Mike, he resides in Swartz Creek and is a member of St. Mary Queen of Angels parish. He has been married to his wife, Linda, for 57 years and they have 2 daughters, 6 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Mike also proudly served our country in the Vietnam war. Mike has already been actively involved in our council activities and has proven that he is a great addition to our council. Welcome, Mike, to Knights of Columbus Swartz Creek Council No. 6694!

Let us also welcome our brother, John T Whiteside, a 32 year member of the Knights of Columbus, who transferred his membership into our council in December. John and his wife of 46 years, Kelly, were 42 year members of St. Pius until its closure, when they then joined our St. Mary Queen of Angels parish family. They were very involved at St. Pius, leading the funeral dinners and their pancake breakfasts as well.

For the past 25 years, John and Kelly have volunteered with "Friends of Holly Recreation," dedicating their time to keeping the park clean, organizing fundraisers, and completing park projects. John is also active on the Flint Township Board, enjoys playing Euchre, and is a 6 year retiree of GM. He and Kelly were married at St. John Vianney and have two children, a son and a daughter. Let us extend a warm council welcome to our brother, John!

What does it mean to be a Knight?

Faith

Our goal is to help men, their families and their parishes grow closer to Christ. Through our programs and resources, we provide opportunities to live and spread the Catholic faith.

Serve

Lead your family and community in faith and service through our local councils service programs.

Protect

The Knights of Columbus is a fraternal benefit society, which means we can provide financial security to members and their families, while turning premiums into charitable impact.

Defend

We advocate for life. The right to life is unlike any other right. It is the most basic right and the condition of all other personal rights, constituting the foundation of every human community and the political community itself.
