Welcome
to the Internet home of the Cardinal Gibbons Council
Knights of Columbus of Baltimore, Maryland.
On January 28,
1924, at St. Michael's Church in Overlea,
Maryland, the elections of the council first
officers was held. On February 8, 1924, the
officers were installed and a First Degree was
conferred on a class of thirty-four candidates
with over 100 men in attendance. Our first Grand
Knight was Nicholas J. Herbert, Sr. Since that
time we have had 95 Grand Knights and the Council
home has been moved twice and is now at its
permanent location on Klosterman Avenue in Perry
Hall, Maryland. Cardinal Gibbons Council has a
proud 100 year history of events, many of which
have stood the test of time. Our "Fallen Heroes"
night honors firemen and policemen who have given
their lives in the line of duty. Each year
scholarships are awarded to deserving youth in the
furtherance of their Catholic education.
Cardinal
Gibbons supports numerous charitable organizations
including the Pregnancy Center, the Franciscan Center,
and Our Daily Bread. We host a multitude of
social events that includes an Italian Night, a Bull
Oyster & Shrimp Feast, a Crab Feast, and Monday
Night Bingo. Cardinal Gibbons conducts a variety
of youth programs and activities in service to our
Council families.
Council
meetings are held on the second and fourth Wednesday
starting at 7:30pm. The meetings are scheduled for under
one hour addressing council operations and other
time-sensitive topics.
Members are encouraged to attend and take an active part
in the meetings. There are also some “open"
meetings during the year where wives and friends are
invited to join. Food, refreshments and socializing
follows every meeting.
