Knights On Bikes
The purpose of the Knights on Bikes (KonB) shall be to enjoy camaraderie with our brothers of faith as motorcycle riders.
To offer assistance to any Knight, the Catholic Church, individuals, charities and the communities in which we live
through charitable work and leadership.
To promote the spiritual needs of the Knights of Columbus and to strive to encourage faith, fellowship and service.
Honor Flight Veterans Mission: transport America’s Veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit those memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices. Departure for this one day trip to Washington, D.C. is from the St. Pete – Clearwater International Airport.

welcome them back home and thank them for their service.
