  • Knights of Columbus

    The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal organization which promotes charity, unity, fraternity, patriotism, and service to the Church. Our council is active in helping the parish, community, and advocating for issues related to morality. In the last year we have raised money for OLG school security and its special needs program, attended various pro-life events, held socials for the parish and council, and various other activities.



    Time Commitment:



    We meet once a month as a council for 30-60 minutes. The time commitment is completely up to the person. Some show up just to occasional events, and some spend time weekly on Knights activities. We hold events for the parish, community, and/or parish often, which is a great way to become an active Knight.
