KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Council 12921 * Wallace, NC
Per our founding principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism, The Knights of Columbus follow the Bible: "I tell you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me." Matthew 25:40
We are a group of practicing Catholic Men who have stepped up to help the Parish, the Community, and those people who need our assistance. The Knights are Church Council members, Church Maintenance managers, Bishop's Annual Appeal solicitors, Lenten Supper organizers, Food Bank helpers, Prisoner & Hospital Chaplains, Eucharistic Ministers, Mass Readers, and Mass Greeters.
Being a Knight is all about giving back to your community and building bonds of brotherhood. Come join us!

18th Annual Knights of Columbus L.A.M.B Tournament in support of
Duplin Co. Schools Exceptional Children
For years the Bill Lord Memorial Golf Tournament has raised thousands of dollars benefiting the Duplin County Schools Exceptional Children’s (EC) program.
Named for the late Bill Lord, former Wallace resident and member of Knights of Columbus Council 12921, this tournament has raised over $140,000, all of which has been granted to assist teachers in the Duplin EC program. All purchases must be something the children use. Multi-sensory equipment, books, science projects, phonics, reading aids and special playground equipment are some of the items that have been purchased in the past.
The Knights wish to extend their gratitude to all sponsors, donors, and players who make this tournament successful year after year.

About
2026 seminarian scholarship
Our Council 12921 from Transfiguration of Jesus Catholic Church sponsored a scholarship for one of the seminarians in the Diocese of Raleigh. A scholarship of $1,000 was presented to Andrew Degele. He will be a second year seminarian studying at St. Vincent de Paul Seminary in Boynton Beach, Florida. This summer he served at All Saints in Hampstead and will be returning to Florida to continue his studies in late August. His family is from the Raleigh area. Andrew was very thankful that the Knights were willing to help him with his education.
The Dan Kusnierz Memorial DANCE FOR LIFE was held on April 17, 2026 to benefit the Helping Hands Food Pantry of Wallace and Life Line Sampson, a pregnancy center serving Duplin County. A total of $3600 was raised and each ministry received $1800. Special thanks goes out to Time Machine for the lively music, our raffle sponsors, and all those who supported this event. A good time was had by all!
