 About Our Council
St. Francis of Assisi Council was chartered on June 10th, 1999 through the efforts of Msgr. Duesman, Charlie Walter, Bob Buchheit and Larry Volz and is named after our local Church. The St. Francis of Assisi Council works closely with the St. Francis Parish, members being active participants in their Parish, Frisco community ...providing funds and labor for various projects.
We have accomplished a lot, since our inception and have been recognized by State and Supreme with various awards.  The quality of our council is reflected in our Hall of Fame and through our Ring of Honor.


A Ladies Auxiliary was formed in the Summer of 2001, to join with us in our volunteer efforts.  You can click here to go to their home page.

Grand Knight's Message - March 2008

Past GK Messages

The image of Jesus is found in our hearts and in our minds and serves as a beautiful and powerful reminder of God's greatest gift, the life of His Son Jesus.  We are reminded by the image of the crucified Christ, which is the focal point of the liturgy of Good Friday, that Jesus Christ makes us realize the true seriousness of human sin.

It is called ‘Good’ Friday because of the goodness Jesus showed in giving life as a sacrifice for others.  On Good Friday, we gaze on the Cross at Calvary. Each member of the Church tries to understand at what cost Christ has won our redemption. In the solemn ceremonies of Good Friday, in the Adoration of the Cross, in the chanting of the 'Reproaches', in the reading of the Passion, and in receiving the pre-consecrated Host, we unite ourselves to our Savior, and we contemplate our own death to sin in the Death of our Lord.

Called “good” because of all the wonder and meaning that flowed from it, this is the day when Jesus was handed over to trial, tortured, forced to carry his cross (a Roman tool for executing criminals) through the streets of Jerusalem, nailed to the cross on the hill known as Golgotha, or Calvary, and allowed to die a slow and agonizing death there, while crowds mocked him and his disciples hid in fear.

In the days of His flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to Him who was able to save Him from death, and He was heard for His godly fear. Although He was a Son, He learned obedience through what He suffered; and being made perfect He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.  Let us rejoice as we remember that special day on which the Truth set us free. 

Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have come to believe. John 20:29   Come join our brotherhood in prayer, be a part of the most solemn of ceremonies.  Good Friday.

Fraternally,
Stan Zmorzynski
