Felice Coures Dances

Annually, our Council proudly cooperates in a service project known as Felice Cuores. The name means “Happy Heart” in Italian. The event is a monthly party for adults - ages 18 and older – who are mentally handicapped or developmentally disabled.

These parties are held on the 2nd Saturday evening of the month during September through May. The permanent venue is the dining room at St. Claire of Assisi Parish in Ellisville. Soda, snacks, door prizes are provided along with a DJ. There is no charge for parents or care-givers that choose to stay. The admission fee is a modest $5.00 charge. Soda, snacks, door prizes are provided along with a DJ. There is no charge for parents or care-givers that choose to stay.

All the dances are supported and chaperoned by the Knights of Columbus and the Ladies Auxiliary from the council’s of the seven parishes in our district: Incarnate Word, St. Claire of Assisi, Christ Prince of Peace, Holy Infant, Ascension, St. Albert Roe, and the Marian Council of St. Joseph of Manchester.

Our council’s permanent representative and committee chairman is Vince Throckmorton.
