Together, we’re empowering Catholic men to live their faith at home, in their parish, at work and in their community. Charity is at the heart of our work and our faith — and it always has been. For the Knights of Columbus, charity means supporting a virtually boundless variety of projects.

OUR PROGRAMS
FAITH
Our goal is to help men, their families and their parishes grow closer to Christ. Through our programs and resources, we provide opportunities to live and spread the Catholic faith.
We celebrate the year of St. Joseph. During Covid most of our monthly meetings were held with Zoom.
We were able to add this as one of our meeting prayers.

In his Apostolic Exhortation Into the Breach, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted outlines the challenges faced by men of faith in the world today. Into the Breach is a call to battle for Catholic men which urges them to wholeheartedly embrace masculine virtues in a world at crisis. By reading and discussing Bishop Olmsted’s inspirational words and the accompanying study guide with like-minded men of faith, councils will prayerfully examine the enormous breach in the battle line that lies before them. In doing so, they. will begin to devise a personal plan of spiritual battle

FAMILY
Father McGivney sought to strengthen the bonds of families in his parish and the Knights of Columbus. These programs, created for families by families, help us to live this call. We pray we use the Holy Family as our model for family life.

COMMUNITY

When Knights of Columbus members come together, they accomplish great things.
Our chaplain, Fr. Jan was very happy when one of our members who happens to be a K of C serving on Parish Council mentioned he would ask our Council to help move the library to a more accessible place. Thanks Jason, Chris M, Levi P, Ariel O, Chris.D, David. You are making a difference
