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, honoring our fallen, 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.
Please take time to explore the website. Your suggestions, recommendations and comments will help us. Just click Contact Us.
Burgaw Christmas Parade
Plan to march on Saturday, December 12, with our assembly and our brother sir knights from 3952 in Hampstead. The dress code is full regalia or assembly polo shirts. Meet near the staging area (500 Dickerson Street) at 4pm as the roads close early to traffic. You are encouraged to sign up HERE so that we have a good showing for the area's only real Christmas parade.
Christmas Party
Our Christmas Party on December 15th from 6:00-8:00 will again be at South Beach Grill on Wrightsville Beach. Register to attend HERE and soon as seating is limited and we want you there. The cost per person is $32 and there will be a cash bar. The menu is being finalized and will be posted here shortly but don't wait because you know it will be good.

Wreaths Across America
Four 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.
Veterans Support Raffle
Now is the time to get your tickets for the Veterans Support Raffle. The drawing will be held November 17 at our assembly meeting -- just in time to put $500, $250 or $125 in the hands of a lucky winner. You can purchase your tickets HERE from the assembly, or from your council if they are selling them. Good luck!
