Serving Our Diocese. Supporting Our Brother Knights.
The Diocesan Disaster Relief Fund, managed by the South Texas Area Chapter, is a year‑round charitable program dedicated to providing immediate assistance to Brother Knights within our own diocese who are affected by natural disasters. This fund ensures that our area Knights are never left to face hardship alone.
Our Purpose
Our Purpose
For generations, the Knights of Columbus have lived out the principles of charity and fraternity by caring for one another in times of need. This fund exists exclusively to support:
Brother Knights in our diocese
Councils impacted by disaster
Unlike statewide or national relief efforts, this fund is dedicated solely to our diocesan family, ensuring rapid, direct, and compassionate support.
How Assistance Is Awarded
Assistance from the Diocesan Disaster Relief Fund is awarded based on available resources.
These resources come directly from the participation, generosity, and fundraising efforts of all councils in our diocese.
The ongoing strength of this fund depends on:
Councils contributing regularly
Councils promoting the fund
Councils participating in chapter‑wide fundraising efforts
The more united our councils are in supporting this fund, the more effectively we can respond when disaster strikes.
Why This Fund Matters
Disasters strike without warning. Families may lose homes, vehicles, clothing, or access to basic necessities. The Diocesan Disaster Relief Fund allows our chapter to:
Provide immediate financial assistance
Help councils restore their ability to serve their parishes
Respond within hours—not weeks
Your generosity ensures that no Brother Knight in our diocese faces disaster alone.

Charity Begins at Home

to care for one another as Brothers, to protect our families, and to serve our local Church.
Together, we ensure that our diocesan Knights are supported, strengthened, and never forgotten in their time of need.
