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.
