In 2008 Ray Sylvester and Bob McCarthy were working on the parish staff at St. Michael Catholic Church. Bob was the Business Manager and Ray was the Director of Social Justice. Both belonged to other K of C councils, but felt that the parish could certainly support a council. After obtaining approval to proceed from the pastor, they along with Ed LaSage, then District Director, set about to recruit the 35 men needed to form a Council. The hope was realized when Council #14700 was incorporated by Supreme in February of 2009. St. Michael the Archangel, the parish patron saint, was selected as our official name.
The mission of the Council is to build community st St. Michael by bringing the parish together in prayer, meals and events.

Past Knights of the Year
The Council's award to the Knight of the year is named after one of our founding members, Jack McKennon. Jack, a Notre Dame graduate was a committed and present Catholic gentleman. His children were educated at St. Michael, and he was ever present around the parish campus. You could find him in the parish offices early on Monday mornings joining others in counting the weekend donations. He was a Eucharistic Minister and active with the parish's Sociable Seniors. In the early years of the Council Jack acted as greeter and ticket seller for the Lenten Fish Fries. His character and service to others made him an outstanding Knight.
