In celebration of Columbus Day, the University of Dallas' chapter of the Knights of Columbus hosted a cookout. This event was just one of the many examples of this organization's community building events.
The Knights of Columbus is an organization dedicated to the service of men in the Catholic Church, and UD's council continues to grow. The UD Knights currently have about 65 members involved in charitable service, fraternal faith formation, and liturgical services, including ushering and altar serving.
The UD council of Knights has also led two Eucharistic processions and started a mentorship program on campus. The chapter has been officially recognized for their achievements at the Knights of Columbus' College Council's conference.
In addition, as part of Columbus Day, UD students are celebrating with the Annual Columbus Day lecture, "Why Couldn't Columbus Sail East? Columbus in the Shadow of Genghis Khan" with UD Alumnus James Bell, Class of 2007.
