Knights in Action. Faith in Action.

Organized into Faith, Family, Community and Life categories, the Faith in Action program model empowers Knights to come together to share faith, celebrate fraternity with loved ones, and do what they do best — stand shoulder to shoulder in service to the community and to defend life at all stages and in every condition.

The Prince of Peace Council #12315 was founded in 1998 through the efforts of a group of dedicated parishioners from Prince of Peace Catholic Church. The Council works closely with both the parish, providing funds for various charitable programs, and projects throughout the year.
As a Catholic mens service organization we promote numerous charitable services and activities. As Knights, we strive to help each other become better husbands, fathers and men. We serve our families, our Church and our communities by trying to grow in faith and lead by example.
Currently our Council membership is represented by over 110 gentleman from all walks of life; all sharing a desire to give back to others and help those in need. Our Council meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of the month at Prince of Peace Catholic Church,135 South Milwaukee Avenue, Lake Villa, IL 60046. Council meetings begin at 7:30 PM.
All of the good works that we do in the Knights of Columbus are centered around the four core principles that make our Brotherhood the strong and respected fraternal organization that is world renown for doing good deeds for others. The 4 principles we live by are:
Charity
Our Catholic faith teaches us to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Members of the Knights of Columbus show love for their neighbors by conducting food drives and donating the food to local soup kitchens and food pantries, by volunteering at Special Olympics, and by supporting, both spiritually and materially, mothers who choose life for their babies. Knights recognize that our mission, and our faith in God, compels us to action. There is no better way to experience love and compassion than by helping those in need, a call we answer every day.
Unity
The Venerable Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to provide assistance to the widows and children left behind when the family breadwinner died – often prematurely. The Order’s top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do individual Knights, who last year gave more than 10 million hours of their time to assist sick and/or disabled members and their families. In the Knights of Columbus, we watch out for and take care of one another.
Fraternity
None of us is as good as all of us. Members of the Knights of Columbus all know that – together – we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. So we stick together…we support one another. That doesn’t mean that we always agree or that there is never a difference of opinion. It does mean that – as a Knight of Columbus – you can count on the support and encouragement of your brother Knights as you work to make life better in your parish and community.
Patriotism
Members of the Knights of Columbus, be they Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Cubans, Filipinos, Poles, or Dominicans, are patriotic citizens. We are proud of our devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both. Whether it’s in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens.
