Stepping Up

“To be a Knight of Columbus is to be a man of service. Being able to offer men opportunities to serve their community has been the biggest blessing in my own spiritual life."


Searching for faith and eager to do more? Since 1882, the Knights have been leaders in charity and Catholic fraternity. Becoming a Knight will change your life and the life of your family.

Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works.

The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic fraternal benefit society, with more than 1.9 million members in over a dozen countries. Founded by Father Michael J.
