CHARITY---FAITH---FRATERNITY---PATRIOTISM
ABOUT
Council 1143 supports and collaborates with Edwardsville’s two parishes, St. Boniface and St. Mary’s. We provide financial assistance to the Catholic grade schools and Father McGivney Catholic High School, and we supply volunteers for a variety of parish projects.
Our members are active parish participants, serving as lectors at Mass, Eucharistic ministers, ushers, collection counters, athletic coaches, and committee members.
Council 1143 organizes community outreach including food drives for the local pantry, the annual Intellectual Disabilities (Tootsie Roll) drive to support Special Olympics, coat drives for children, and bi-monthly blood drives.
All Catholic men 18 and older are welcome to attend a meeting or event to see how we advance our fraternal mission through Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism.
