ST. ANTHONY De PADUA COUNCIL # 1949
 When our Council began a small group of men gathered together and were granted its charter to dedicate their efforts for the benefit of the HOLY MOTHER CHURCH and the goodwill of their fellow men. On April 20, 1919 they received their charter as the FRANKLIN PARK COUNCIL at St. Gertrude Church. The Council moved its headquarters to Elmwood Park and changed its name to St. Anthony de Padua Council in 1933. Under capable direction of its officers the membership had grown to 425 members. They became prominent in the CYO and the Newman Apostolate. Throughout the years their officers received many distinguished awards in their work in the Knights of Columbus activities.
Currently the St. Anthony de Padua Council 1949 meets on Tuesday evenings at 7:30 pm in the Teachers Lunch Room.
The Knights sponsor a basketball free throw contest at St. Celestine in December. All the students have fun preparing for the competition.
The students of school also participate in the spelling bee contest sponsored by the Knights.
We also participate in the MR Tootsie Roll Drive which is held approximately the third weekend of September. With the cooperation of our members and Council supporters, we collect on street corners and in front of businesses and at church on the weekend Masses. These proceeds help support the Illinois State Council Mental Retardation / Learning Disabilities housing and educations programs. We aid local organizations in their MR/LD programs.
We are dedicated to the support of our local parishes, dioceses, and direction of our Papal Father.
WE ALWAYS WELCOME NEW MEMBERS! For more information, please call Norb Zyk at 708-452-9694.
49'er Group - This group is made up of the members of St. Anthony De Padua Council who are 4th Degree members.

The Ladies Auxiliary of Council 1949, due to lack of membership, have disbanded. They will continue to help Council 1949 in whatever capacity they can and they also try to be available when ever asked.
Thank you for all your support as we tried to form this Ladies Auxiliary.
