Fr. Thomas McAvoy Council was founded in
1987 through the efforts of the charter 3rd and 4th degree Knights of
St. Francis of Assisi Parish.
It is named after Fr Thomas McAvoy, who was one of the former pastor's
of our parish. Fr. McAvoy was instrumental in providing our
council with facilities suitable for our meetings, degree's and other
activities of the Knights. The Fr. McAvoy Council works closely with the
St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Lenoir, providing assistance
for various projects. Our members are also involved in assistance to the
local community especially Operation Lamb (LAMB) and have provided many
hours in other projects for the Mentally Retarded of this area.
Our council provided the man hours and material to construct a picnic pavilion
on the church property in memory of Fr. McAvoy and it was so designated
and named upon completion. This pavilion has provided shelter for
many wonderful occasions of our parish including outdoor mass, parish
picnics and BBQ's.
