Contact Info: Email: gkislands@gmail.com. The Islands Council is very active in the parish and community. Members serve as ushers at all Masses the first Sunday of every month. During Lent each year, the council holds two Lenten Fish Fry Dinners in the parish center. From September through May, they prepare breakfast after the 7:30 am AND 9:00 am Masses on the second Sunday of the month. In January, they sponsor a free-throw contest for our youth. Recently, they’ve supported the Fresh Air Home on Tybee Island with painting and other repairs.
The Knights pray the Rosary every First Saturday at 8:00 a.m. in the church. Everyone is invited to join the Knights and their families to pray for world peace and the family.
