It looks like we might get a little warmer day on Monday, 1/13 to take down the outdoor Nativity. We are going to plan to start at 2 PM as long as we have at least 2 people available. Please check back here for any changes to the day or time.
Setup Outdoor Nativity at Epiphany – 12/14/2024
Due to likelihood of rain Saturday, we are changing the setup to Friday, 12/13 and 1:30 PM. Those who have already signed up have been contacted about the change. If anyone else is available to help at this new time, please add your name to the signup.
We will be setting up the outdoor Nativity at 11:30 AM on Saturday, December 14th.
If we have at least 6 people, it only takes about 30 minutes to bring up everything from the basement and finish the setup in the front of the Church on the Preschool side. Please plan to meet in front.
Pancake Breakfast – 12/15/2024
The Epiphany Knights of Columbus council will be hosting a breakfast following the 7:30 and 9 AM Masses on 12/15 in the Parish Hall. The menu will include pancakes, sausage, applesauce, and juice\coffee. Please plan to come down to the hall and enjoy some good food and fellowship.
2024 – Intellectual Disability Drive
This is one of the most recognizable activities that the Knights of Columbus do. The funds generated from this drive are used to support local programs which help people with special learning needs. Please note this year’s drive is broken up between two different weekends in September and October (October dates\locations are not yet finalized).
For those that may not see us out at the locations but would still like to make a donation, the Illinois State Council is providing a secure online donation option. Please feel free to share this page with your family and friends that may be interested in supporting our drive.

2023 Christmas Parade and Nativity Setup Signups
Our council will have our “Keep Christ in Christmas” entry in the Jaycee’s Christmas parade on Saturday, 12/2. We will be loading up the trailer on the west side of Epiphany between 8:30 and 8:45 AM and will then carpool to the start of the parade (Kinsley Junior High).
We will hand out tootsie rolls as we walk the parade route.
Following the parade, we will return to Epiphany and complete setting up the outdoor nativity scene. We are usually back from the parade around 11:15 and it takes about 45 minutes to complete the setup.
The below link includes a signup both activities.
Coat Drive – 9/23/23 – 10/01/23
Epiphany’s Knights of Columbus seek new or gently used coats (also jackets and hooded sweatshirts) for those in need as the weather turns cold.
You have three ways you can help:
- Bring coats to Mass on September 23-24 or September 30th-October 1st.
- Send coats with your Epiphany School kids the week of September 25-September 29. Epiphany’s Knights of Columbus will collect and deliver the coats to the St. Vincent de Paul Society for distribution. We know from many stories that people truly cherish these sources of warmth and comfort!
- Help us collect coats before\after Masses and\or help with the delivery to St. Vincent de Paul on Monday, 10/2.
