About our Council
Saint Francis of Assisi Council was instituted May 24, 1999 through the efforts of Charter Grand Knight Mike Warner, Charter Deputy Grand Knight Robert "Bob" Quarles, Chaplain Fr. Dennis Diehl (deceased), and State officers Bill McMahon and Ed Moore.
It is named for Saint Francis of Assisi, founder of the orders of Friars Minor, and patron saint of animals and the environment.
​
The council is affiliated with the Colonel Anthony F. Naples Assembly #3245 (fourth degree) and the Baltimore Chapter of Grand Knights.
SUPREME COUNCIL

He leads more than 1.9 million members in more than 16,000 councils and oversees over $100 billion of life insurance in force.
Since its founding in 1882, there have been 13 Supreme Knights. Carl A. Anderson is the current Supreme Knight, a position he has held since 2000.
