The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men’s fraternal benefit society that was formed to be of service to the parish and local community, and to render financial aid to members and their families. The order was founded in 1881 by Father Michael J.

Anyone interested in finding out more about the Knights is encouraged to contact one of the council’s Grand Knights.  Our two councils are:
