THE WORLD NEEDS
MORE KNIGHTS

We are Catholic men who understand that actions speak louder than words. Our faith calls us to do good works. That's what Knights do every day.

BUILDING A BRIDGE BACK TO FAITH

We come from many places, backgrounds, and stages in our lives, but we are all of one faith. Find out more about what we do.

The Knights of Columbus is a lay family fraternal organization. Membership is open to all practical Catholic men, age 18 and older. The term "practical Catholic" implies that a person embraces the precepts and tenents of the Catholic Church.

We Believe

Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism

St. Augustine

"The fruits of charity are joy, peace, and mercy; charity demands beneficence and fraternal correction; it is benevolence; it fosters reciprocity and remains disinterested and generous; it is friendship and communion: Love is itself the fulfillment of all our works."

Pope Francis

"We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace."

the Knights

A “vocation to fraternity"

While dues-paying membership is only for Catholic men, most council programs are open to the member’s entire family, including social and family activities, scholarships, volunteer service programs and insurance benefits.

Candidates join local units, called “councils,” most of which are based in one Catholic parish, or in the community at large. The candidate takes part in initiation degrees that explain the Knights of Columbus’ four principles: Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism.

He is considered a “Knight” after a new "combined" ceremony for the first-, second- and third-degree ceremonies. The fourth-degree ceremony will remain unchanged and will continue to be open to members only who promote the virtue of patriotism by serving in honor guards, color corps and promoting respect for country and the flag.
