About Rancho San Antonio
Rancho San Antonio Boys Home is a Knights of Columbus supported organization that provides a caring, therapeutic environment where young men can develop the skills, values, and personal responsibility needed to successfully rejoin their families and communities. Founded by the Catholic Big Brothers in 1933, thousands of young men have turned to Rancho San Antonio for help and guidance. Since the 1950's, the Knights of Columbus have provided most of the fundraising for Rancho San Antonio. Within the first three years, the Knights raised enough money to build the chapel, indoor swimming pool, and the first four dormitories on the grounds. The campus sits on 19 acres and, with the continued support of the Knights of Columbus, has grown to include 11 living units, a dining hall, gymnasium, infirmary, recreation complex, football and baseball field, group home, career resource center and administration building. Rancho San Antonio currently provides service to 106 boys and their families.

Annual Raffle Fundraiser
Council #3744 participates in the annual sale of raffle tickets to raise funds for Rancho San Antonio "Boys Home of the West". Each member Knight is asked to purchase tickets in addition to teams of Knights selling tickets to parishioners after Masses at our three local parishes. We greatly appreciate your support of this effort and count on your enthusiastic purchase of raffle tickets to make this life-changing program available to troubled young men.
