The Msgr. Christopher Dennen Assembly 2017
The Msgr. Christopher Dennen Assembly 2017 supports the Knights of Columbus Councils and Catholic Churches in the Greater Wilmington, NC, area. Our members are leaders in their respective councils and have taken an additional pledge of Patriotism because of their love of God and country.
Through the coming year you can expect to see our members marching in the Veteran’s Day Parade, laying a wreath during Wilmington’s Memorial Day Event, participating in US Flag ceremonies in our schools, supporting the Honor Flight, and interacting with our veteran community in new and meaningful ways.
Our monthly meetings (third Tuesday of the month) include prayer, patriotism, and fellowship. Although we are a Catholic men’s fraternal organization, we include events for spouses and friends of the organization.

Wilmington VA Canteen Survey
We have an opportunity to get more out in front of the community, more specifically the Veteran community. The opportunity is to man a "canteen" at Wilmington's VA Clinic every Wednesday from about 7:30 till 10am where we'd provide coffee, water and some sweet to the veterans that are using the clinic. Click here to take the short survey so that we can decide whether to pursue this charitable work.
Christmas Party
Our Christmas Party on December 16th will again be at South Beach Grill on Wrightsville Beach.

Wreaths Across America
Three years ago we launched the Wreaths Across America wreath sale by asking our affiliated councils to promote the sale among their membership. We will do again this year. You can also purchase wreaths directly through us by clicking on Wreaths Across America here or on the menu throughout the year.
