Our council started with a signature
A very special young man named Joseph Reali was attending Mass at our home parish, Holy Name of Jesus in Woodbury, NY. During that Mass, the Knights of Columbus from a nearby church were conducting a recruitment drive. Of all the men who attended masses, the only person to sign up after an entire weekend was Joseph. Shortly after that weekend, at only 25 years old, he passed away from an enlarged heart.
Get to know Joseph Mario Reali
Joseph Mario Reali was a dynamic young man whose passion was evident both on the football field and in how he lived his Catholic faith. Today, his legacy lives on through our council.
