Knights of Columbus Council #3359

Founded in 1882, The Knights of Columbus was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works.  

The local council #3359, Our Lady of the Lakes, supports the parishes of St. Mary’s Church in Denville, St. Cecilia & Sacred Heart of Jesus in Rockaway,  St. Catherine of Siena Church in Mountain Lakes and St. Simon the Apostle Church in Rockaway Township.

Peter joined the Knights of Columbus on April 20, 1980 and became a 4th degree Sir Knight by 1985. Since that time he has had an outstanding record with the Order. He entered the Council chairs as Warden in 1982 and served as Recorder, Deputy Grand Knight and Grand Knight for the 1990-1991 calendar years. As Grand Knight, the Council not only won the Columbian and Founders awards, but also received the award for the highest percentage increase in insurance for the entire State of NJ. Peter chaired the Drive for Persons with mental disabilities, was involved with the 35th & 40th Anniversary Celebration of Our Lady of the Lakes Council and has been serving as Treasurer from 2008 to the present.
