Council History

Council 4118 was chartered on October 9, 1955.  Council 4118 chose to bear the name of Father August Zeller, a Redemptorist priest, who served the people of west Wichita and brought them Knowledge, Love and Service.

A spin-off of Council 691, Council 4118 was organized to serve the needs of Catholic men moving to what was then West Wichita .  Its first hall was located just west of Maple and West street in Wichita, Kansas. This hall was sold in 1980 and the Council purchased a bowling alley.  Through thousands of hours of donate labor by members, the 4118 Hall was dedicated on 1984 and serves as the hub of Council activities. 4118 is one of the dwindling number of councils which has a hall.

4118 is one of the largest councils in the state of Kansas with over 700 members serving St. Francis of Assisi Parish, St. Joseph s Parish, and Christ The King Parish in Wichita.

On the average, 4118 participates in 45 to 50 different activities each year, aside from monthly meetings. Council activities center around the Order s principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism.  Like all councils, Council 4118 is always ready to answer the call of any Roman Catholic priest.
