The Knights of Columbus is a faith-based organization committed to the principles of charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism thought-out the community. We are committed to the protection of human life, from conception to natural death, and to the preservation and defense of the family. It was on these bedrock principles that the Order was founded over a century ago and remains true to them today. Imagine being part of an organization that fills your heart and your mind with the joy of giving to others and the feeling that comes with making a difference. We witness to Christ by serving his Church and the community, bringing home the global mission of the Knights of Columbus to live our Faith in action.

This local KC council was chartered on Oct. 19, 1919, and has been in continuous operation since then. That's almost 100 years of service to the Pilot Point area and to the charities of the council.

My Hero of the week (decades) is Luther Slay of Pilot Point, Texas.

Luther operates the Shepherd’s Storehouse our local community outreach in Pilot Point, Texas. The Shepherd’s Storehouse model was envisioned in the mid 1980’s by Luther Slay, the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church at that time. In the beginning, Shepherd’s Storehouse provided help for a limited number of families and was supported solely by donations from Calvary Baptist. Later that same decade, Walter Ray (citizen in Pilot Point) donated land on US 377 and Shepherd’s Storehouse continued its operations in a trailer, now in a building built by donations. In May of 1990 Shepherd’s Storehouse received its designation as a non-profit charitable organization. Over the years, support for Shepherd’s Storehouse has greatly increased, and it now receives donations from churches of all denominations, school can drives, as well as from individuals and organizations throughout the community.

Through an arrangement with the North Texas Food Bank, Shepherd’s Storehouse is able to purchase canned goods and nonperishable food items at a greatly reduced price, which further extends the buying power of each and every dollar. Our donations help Shepherd’s Storehouse provide food, clothing, diapers, school supplies and many other items to the needy of our community.

From its humble beginnings, Luther Slay has built Shepherd’s Storehouse into an organization that assists scores of needy families every week. To reiterate: that’s many families (not just one or two), throughout the year (not just at Christmas), for over 30 years!
