New Hyde Park
Council is particularly pleased with an innovative idea that one of its leaders
planned and turned into one of our proudest hours.
- New Hyde Park area felt that they wanted to get involved in religion, in charity, in a united organization, and in each other.
- The answer to their needs was The Knights of Columbus. Requirements, as set forth by Supreme, were met by eager men who knew what they wanted. On February 15, 1942 , New Hyde Park Council #2852 became a reality.
- The framed charter, bearing fifty-eight names, proudly decorates the business office wall of our Council home today. Memory recalls a small structure on the property of our building site, which was called the Red Barn
- .New York State and the Nassau Chapter have honored our program as one of the best in New York State.
