This world is crazy, and we often find ourselves going a mile a minute with everything. RISE Youth Ministry is an opportunity to not necessarily slow down, but rather intentionally get to know God, ourselves, and others. Our group doesn\u2019t exist to just sit around the entire time; we play plenty of games and sports, enjoy delicious food and ultimately build community. Additionally, we help teens truly grow in their relationships with Jesus through talks, discussions, prayer nights, the sacraments, and retreats.<\/p>\n<p>The Junior High Youth Group called Ignite follows a similar model, but is designed for youth in 7th-8th grade (regardless of school attended). This ministry meets on Sunday mornings and prepares students for Confirmation as well as forms children into disciples of Christ.

Knights of Columbus Council 12012 serves Saint Matthew and St. Henry parishes and meets in the St. Henry Parish Office (6401 Harding Pike, Nashville 37205) on the 2nd Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The Knights support Saint Matthew Parish in several ways. A key activity is the annual KIND Tootsie Roll fundraiser which provided $1,470 for Saint Matthew special needs students in 2024-2025 school year. Other activities include the Soccer Challenge (hosted at St. Matthew), Basketball Free Throw Contest (hosted at St. Henry), and Essay and Poster contests. Council 12012 annually supports the Saint Matthew St. Vincent de Paul Friends of the Poor Walk\/Run. We also hold a biannual clean up along Sneed Road in front of St. Matthew in partnership with Williamson County. Finally, two graduating St. Matthew 8th graders receive $500 Monsignor Mike scholarships. In the larger community, the Knights are active in supporting seminarians and postulants, the Fraternus youth program, Mulier Care and other clinics, and numerous other Catholic programs.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The Knights are respectful of the time of the Brother Knights, appreciating that many are busy with numerous family and work commitments. The Council typically meets on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month in the St. Henry Parish Office and hosts numerous faith formation activities including a weekly Bible Study in Bellevue, a monthly faith formation event, and an annual retreat. All Knights are welcome at meetings, but attendance is not required. Brother Knights are encouraged to pick one or two volunteer events each year and help with those, although, of course, all are welcome to do more.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Membership is free for the first year and $40\/year thereafter. Contact Grand Knight, Mark Abolins at <a href=\"mailto:rocksandfaultsandfolds@gmail.com\">rocksandfaultsandfolds@gmail.com<\/a> if you would like more information about the Knights.
