Council Background

St. Josaphat's Council has the distinction of being the very first Ukrainian Catholic Council in the United States. We were chartered on the Feast Day of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, March 25, 1980, with 33 members. Our patron is the great Ukrainian martyr and apostle of Church unity between East and West - St. Josaphat.

Since its inception, our Council has provided various types of support to the Shrine. In addition to financial contributions, knights help maintain the grounds, work at the weekly parish Bingo, and act as ushers for Shrine functions.

We also provide financial support to the adjacent St. Josaphat's Seminary as well as other charitable causes both in the U.S. and Ukraine.

For the 1988 Millennium of Ukrainian Christianity, knights of our Council were instrumental in having the Order-wide devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary be conducted under her title as the Mother of God of Pochaiv.

Among our major yearly events are the Pre-Lenten Communion Breakfast just before the start of Lent, and the dinner on the Feast Day of our Patron - St. Josaphat - on November 12.

In Search of Ukrainian Councils

We are in search of other Ukrainian Councils both in the U.S. and Canada. If you belong to one of these Councils, or have any information about them, please contact us through our PGK Walter Keyes, and sign our special K. of C. guestbook.

We also would like to extend an invitation to Ukrainian Councils and other fellow Knights, to visit us here at the Ukrainian Catholic National Shrine of the Holy Family. Please let us know when you are coming, so that we may make your stay in the Nation's Capital a memorable one.
