Msgr.
Lenihan Council 5544 was founded in 1964. It is named after Monsignor Daniel J. Lenihan, who had served the
Knights of Columbus on both state and local levels, and he also served in
World War I as a military chaplain. He was a long time pastor here in Cedar
Rapids, and assisted in acquiring the land where St. Jude Church is now
erected. Known to be a determined man, he strongly promoted growth here in
the Northwest side of the city. The Msgr. Lenihan Council 5544 works closely
with the St. Judes Parish in Cedar Rapids, providing funds for various
projects, members being active participants in their parish. etc.
