Our Beginnings:

Knights of Columbus, Harry (Hap) J Hansen III Council 12281 was chartered on 4 August, 1998 as Knights of Columbus, St Jude the Apostle, Council 12281. Brother Hansen helped establish the Council and was the Charter Grand Knight. The Council changed the name at the passing of Brother Hansen in recognition of his years of service, and devotion to the Council, and church.
