The Dr. Gilbert Ortiz Council was founded in 2004. In 2005 our council was awarded the McGivney Award and the Founders Award. We have earned the STAR Council Award two years straight. This Council was named after Dr. Gilbert Ortiz. Dr. Gil, a long time parishioner of St. Timothy, served as an excellent example for all Knights in service to his family, church, and community. Dr. Gil’s long time desire and efforts to form a Knights of Columbus Council at St. Timothy came to fruition after his unfortunate passing. Members of this council provide a lasting tribute to this great man by working closely with St. Timothy Parish. 

The Dr. Gilbert Ortiz Council of St. Timothy Catholic Church continues to be a benefit in our community. Our members donate their time, talents, and treasures to charity. You’ll see us at Publix handing out Tootsie Rolls raising money for the Handicap, hosting our yearly Veteran’s Day Dinner/Dance, selling Catholic Christmas Cards promoting Keep Christ in Christmas”. Voluntering at Metropolitan Ministries. All monies received from fund raising activities goes directly into parish activities or charitable causes. We also sponsor Seminarians who wish to pursue a vocation into the priesthood or sisterhood.
