Some of the programs in which we are involved may be familiar to you. We help the Parish Church, Birthright, The Guild, Parish Outreach and the Substance Abuse Programs. One of the Benefits we are most proud of is our Scholarship Program available for High School Age Children of our members.
If you believe in the importance of investing your time in Friendship, the Church and helping others, The Knights of Columbus and The Columbiettes should be your Organizations. We invite all men and women of the Parish who are not involved to join the Knights & Columbiettes.

Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to practicing Catholic men in union with the Holy See, who are at least 18 years old. A practicing Catholic is one who lives up to the Commandments of God and the precepts of the Church. Application blanks are available from any member of the Knights of Columbus.

 
Any Third Degree member in good standing, one year after the anniversary of his First Degree, is eligible for membership in the Fourth Degree. The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism by promoting responsible citizenship and a love of and loyalty to the Knights' respective countries through active membership in local Fourth Degree groups (called "assemblies"). Certain members of the Fourth Degree serve as honor guards at civic and religious functions, an activity that has brought worldwide recognition to the Knights of Columbus.

The Columbiettes main function is to support the knights and the council. They do this primarily by providing help at events, cooking for events and providing monetary help.
