Council 9339, St. Clement's Council was chartered on April 20,1986. There were 35 charter members with Don Cliche serving as the first Grand Knight. Other Past Grand knights over the years have included Paul Jastram, Vince Mayer, Bruce Carpenter, Ted Zysk, Chuck Galleger, Jim Burke, Steve Duda, Ed Stives, Sam DeFalco, George Mazariegos, Mark Drexler, Randy Shiney and Joe Mackenzie. Our present Grand Knight is Wayne Blair. Several of our knights are 4th Degree members of the district council in our area.

From the beginning the knights have taken it as our special goal to live out our Catholic faith daily, to defend the church, to serve the clergy, and to serve as examples of patriotism and service in our community.  St. Clement's Council is not as large as some other older councils; however, our members are very active and young at heart if, not in fact, young in age. Our projects are always done in close cooperation with St. Clement's Parish. We have sponsored barbeques, yard sales, fruitcake sales, and Tootsie Roll drives in past years. We have also built at least two ramps for disabled parishioners. Knights serve on virtually every committee and fulfill many lay ministries at the church.  All monies raised by the knights have gone to local or national charities or for the support of St. Clement's Parish. We are the Catholic Church in Gordon County. The Knights of Columbus, Council 9339 and their families are an integral part of that faith community. We, the knights, try to live our faith every day.
