Vehicle License Plate

This fund was newly established in 2020 and is named in honor of the late Bishop Thomas J. Flanagan, who served the Archdiocese of San Antonio as Auxiliary Bishop from 1998-2005 and the Texas State Council as State Chaplain from 2000-2002. This fund has been established to provide for the care and welfare of those who so faithfully served us, and affords grants for our retired priests. The primary way to contribute to this fund is by acquiring and displaying a Texas Knights of Columbus license plate on your vehicle. The funds contributed shall be distributed equally to the fifteen dioceses in Texas each fraternal year.

The Texas State Council first issued the K of C license plates in 2004 which means the program has been in effect for almost 20 years. Currently we are granting each dioceses almost $2000 each year from this program. Multiply that by 15 diocese and 20 years and we should be proud that the knights have provided over $500,000 to help our retired priests. Name another organization in the State that matches that record. Unfortunately less than 1% of the knights in the State participate.
