Chamber Member of the Month

We are celebrating Knights of Columbus Good Shepherd Council 9272 as our Chamber Member of the Month!


The Knights of Columbus is a global Catholic fraternal organization dedicated to charity, unity, and service. Here in Smithville, the Good Shepherd Council 9272 has been making a meaningful impact in their parish and community for decades.



Originally chartered on April 15, 1986, the council faced early challenges but was successfully reactivated in 1996. Since then, it has grown steadily, now boasting 80 dedicated members who actively participate in charitable initiatives, service projects, and parish events. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed, as the council has earned multiple state and national awards for outstanding fundraising, membership growth, and service programs.


In addition to their year-round charitable work, the Knights of Columbus are currently hosting their annual Fish Fry events every Friday through April 11th. These gatherings not only offer a delicious meal but also bring the community together in support of local causes.


Thank you to the Knights for your leadership and generosity—you truly embody the spirit of service in Smithville!
