Padre Pio Council #10754 of the Knights of Columbus, based at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Great Falls, Virginia, is a Catholic family, fraternal and service organization intended to serve the needs of the Knights and their families, as well to carry out a variety of worthwhile projects in support of the Catholic Church and to assist those in need.

When the council was established on November 19, 1991, the charter members chose Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, a remarkable man of the 20th Century, as the namesake and patron of the new council. Padre Pio was a Capuchin friar at the monastery of San Giovanni Rotondo in Italy, who was widely noted around the world for his extraordinary spiritual gifts. He was the first priest to experience the Stigmata - the five wounds of Christ in his hands, feet, and side - which he bore on his body for fifty years from 1918 until his death on 23 Sept., 1968. Numerous people have attributed miracles to his intercession, and his cause for canonization is now under consideration in Rome.

Since the establishment of our council in his name, with just over thirty members, Padre Pio Council has enjoyed strong growth and an active community of members. Today, our Council has more than 160 members, and encourages all Catholic laymen in the area to join and contribute to the activities of the Council and the Parish.
