Knights of Columbus
Knights of Columbus are Catholic gentlemen committed to the exemplification of charity, unity, fraternity, patriotism, and defense of the priesthood. The Order is consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Order is unequivocal in its loyalty to the Pope, the Vicar of Christ on earth. It is firmly committed to the protection of human life, from conception to natural death, and to the preservation and defense of the family. It was on these bedrock principles that the Order was founded over a century ago and remains true to them today.
The Knights of Columbus offers you social outlets, athletic and recreational programs, community service, involvement with youth and feeling of belonging that new friendships can provide.
Active in Church ministries, members are urged to serve as lectors, Eucharistic ministers, ushers, religious education instructors, participants in Parish organizations, and provide manpower for Church buildings and grounds projects.
