The Knights of Columbus at St. Patrick Cathedral will once again be offering parking at the Cathedral for this festive downtown tradition! Parking will be available beginning at 4:00 PM for $20 per vehicle and will remain open until the lot is full. With the parade kicking off at 6:00 PM, we encourage everyone to arrive early to secure a spot. We look forward to welcoming you downtown for a wonderful evening of Christmas lights, holiday cheer, and family fun!12 Firearms. 12 Drawings. One Ticket.
The Knights of Columbus Council 14679 invites you to take part in our inaugural Knight’s Armory Raffle, a year-long raffle featuring 12 firearms and 12 chances to win with every ticket! Only 250 tickets will be sold, and each ticket is just $100. Your ticket isn't for just one drawing. Every ticket is entered into all 12 monthly drawings throughout the year. And winning doesn't take you out of the running. If your ticket is drawn, it remains eligible for every drawing that follows. Win in January? You're still in for February. And March. And every drawing after that. That means a single ticket could win more than once.The Knight’s Armory
We've put together a lineup with something different waiting every month: January – Ruger 10/22 Takedown February – Mossberg 500 Tactical March – Glock 19 Gen 5 April – Henry Golden Boy May – Smith & Wesson 686 Plus June – Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 July – Tikka T3x Lite August – SIG P226 Legion September – Browning Citori CX October – CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical November – Browning X-Bolt Hunter December – Winchester Model 70 Super Grade From rimfire and tactical firearms to handguns, shotguns, and classic hunting rifles, one ticket puts your name in the drawing for every firearm on the list.How It Works
A new firearm will be drawn at the beginning of our Council Business Meeting on the third Wednesday of each month, beginning in January. Your $100 ticket is entered into every monthly drawing. There is no need to enter again each month, and a winning ticket stays in the raffle. Win one firearm and you're still eligible to win the next one.Only 250 Tickets Available
We're limiting the Knight’s Armory Raffle to just 250 tickets. Once all 250 are sold, they're gone. Proceeds from the raffle support the charitable and community efforts of Knights of Columbus Council 14679 at Saint Patrick Cathedral, helping us continue serving our parish and supporting organizations and families throughout our community. One ticket. Twelve firearms. Twelve chances to win. Secure your place in the Knight’s Armory Raffle and follow along throughout the year as we draw a new winner every month.
