| What
are the primary values of the Knights of Columbus?
The life of St. Regis Council, from its inception
in 1958, has demonstrated an eagerness to support all Columbian
programs in many ways: by assistance to our Church and Priests,
especially St. Joseph's Church in Ronkonkoma, assisting the aged,
the ill and the handicapped, by concerns for the formation of the
young through sports, academic excellence and by programs to enhance
the daily piety of its members. |

All
of the Knights of Columbus who have dedicated many hours of labor
in the effort to live our principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity
and Patriotism in the world today and in the Ronkonkoma Community,
have made St. Regis the outstanding Council that it is and make each
of us proud to call the other, "BROTHER." |
