How to Join
Since 1882, membership in the Knights of Columbus has been open to men 18 years of age or older who are "practical" (that is, practicing) Catholics in union with the Holy See. Since that time, the Knights of Columbus has understood "practical catholic" to mean a Catholic who accepts the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live in accord with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in good standing in the Catholic Church.
If you would like to be part of an organization that fills your heart and mind with the joy of giving to others and the feeling that comes with making a difference, please contact Past Grand Knight Sal Costanza, (224-392-3879) or follow the link provided:
