In 2011, a group of dedicated parishioners at St. Joseph Catholic Community in Vacaville proposed establishing a new Knights of Columbus council. With strong support from the parish, they filed for the creation of Council 16255 based at St. Joseph. Guided by a “Faith in Action” ethos, the council set out to make a positive difference in the parish and surrounding community.
Over its history, Council 16255 has consistently earned the prestigious Star Council Award – an honor only 5% of Californian councils achieve annually. This recognition requires excellence across membership, insurance, and programming goals. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, our council displayed resilience in meeting rigorous standards like new member recruitment, insurance participation, and completing service programs across faith, family, community, and life.
The repeated Star Council Awards reflect Council 16255’s exceptional dedication to the Knights of Columbus mission. For over a decade, our brotherhood has worked ceaselessly to earn this distinction.
Through unity and perseverance, our council continues to thrive as a vibrant force for good. Our journey has been defined by challenge and triumph. Council 16255 is carving a unique legacy of service and fellowship that will endure for generations to come.
