COUNCIL INFORMATION
Who Are We?
We are the Knights of Columbus; we are a fraternal, nonprofit 501(c)(8) organization for Catholic Men. Our organization was founded in 1882 to take care of the orphan and the widow. Since then, we have evolved to take care of a wide variety of needs; We sell booyah to support the seminaries of our diocese, we pray outside of Planned Parenthood to fight against abortion, and we host a golf outing to help raise 10's of $1,000 for a family in dire need (not to mention Pass-Punt-Kick and the Kwik-Trip-Car-Wash and Tootsie Roll sales).

Why should you become a Knight? We can help you grow in your Faith Activities, your Family Activities, your Community Activities, and your Activities to promote Life. You will also be able to network a while variety of men with numerous vocations; from farmers to engineers, from pilots to electricians, from Deacons to Bishops.
Membership is open to practicing Catholic men in union with the Holy See, who are at least 18 years of age; I am here to invite all of you men if you are able. Do not let your busy schedule with work and family be the reason why you cannot join, but the reason why you MUST join.
Thank you for your time; May this be of Good Help.
