About Our St. Matthew Council

The Pope John Paul II Council 13812 was founded in May 2005 through the efforts of Father John Parish, Brother Don Williams, its first Grand Knight, and 38 other charter members.  We have grown substantially since those early day with currently over 80 members. 

The Pope John Paul II Council works closely with the St. Matthew Parish in Durham, NC providing manpower and funds for various local charitable and parish projects.  All members are Catholioc men and active participants in their active north Durham parish.
