Imagine being part of an organization that fills your heart and your mind with the joy of giving to others and the feeling that comes with making a difference.   You will make lifelong friends.  Knights are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, who are committed to making their community a better place, while supporting their Church.  

Why Join the Knights of Columbus? I don’t have time to join another organization.
As a Knight you can choose the projects with which you wish to be involved in within your own community. What is more, the Order is dedicated to family life and the many benefits it offers. From insurance to scholarships to service and social activities and programs, all are open to the whole family.  You determine how much time you can devote – a few hours a year or a few hours a month.

 

  • FAITH: Grow in your faith.  Support your parish.  Help with your parish fiesta.  Knights become better Catholics.
  • FAMILY: We have many family activities each year such as picnics, council breakfasts, coats for kids and others. Give back to your community.  Show your children how to make a difference.
  • FRIENDSHIP: You will meet like-minded men and make life-long friendships.
  • FUN:  Have fun with your family and brother knights.  See the smiles on the faces of those we help.  Food for Families, Habitat for Humanity, World Wheelchair Mission, and many other activities.
