‘I will never be able to repay the Knights of Columbus for what they have given me”
Grand Knight John Heckbert

As members of the world’s largest Catholic Family Fraternal organizations, 1.7 million Knights around the world, through over 13 thousand local councils, contribute freely of both their time (over 68 millions hours in 2006) and their God given resources ($143 million). Globally, the Knights of Columbus provide support for the Holy Father’s personal charities, as well as support television broadcasts from Vatican City, in addition to other charitable work.

At our parish, the Knights are active because the men are part of our parish family. In full support of our priests, the Knights stand ready to assist in any they can to improve the quality of life for the marginalized in our midst; the widows and orphans of brother Knights, the developmentally and physically challenged, the elderly, the poor.

The Knights have sponsored and organized events – such as the Family Movie Nights and the Parish Picnic – to celebrate family life. Other events – like Dinner Dances – offer married couples a night away from their family to celebrate their married life. The Knights will continue to introduce new programs to our parish community as we build and strengthen the ties that bind us - one to all and all to one.

They do this because it is the right thing to do and our obligation as Catholic Gentlemen. In service to one. In service to all.

To the man who joins his family with ours, we offer
• Leadership development
• An opportunity to be of service in a structured way
• Friendship and fellowship with like minded men
• A chance to grow in their faith
• An optional insurance program as a fraternal benefit

But most of all
• The experience of a lifetime
