Why Join the Knights of Columbus?

Imagine being part of an organization that fills your heart and your mind with the joy of giving to others and the feeling that comes with making a difference. Knights are Catholic men working each day to create a better world through our Order’s four foundational principles of UNITY, CHARITY, FRATERNITY and PATRIOTISM.

With family taking a bigger part in our lives, the Knights also put an emphasis on Faith in the family. We offer today’s family man Catholic faith formation, financial protection and other resources that can help you grow as a father, husband, and leader. With the Knights, you can become the man you want to be – and the man your family needs.

Just 24 Hours Can Change Your Life

No man is too busy to be an active Knight of Columbus. In fact, giving the equivalent of just one full day a year can make an enormous difference in your life. By spending that 24 hours a year with us you will be able to serve your parish and help those in need in your community, grow in faith, and access our exclusive top-rated insurance program to protect your family.

Regardless of their schedule or other commitments, nearly two million men around the world have found that the Knights of Columbus adds something to their lives.

See what can be done in 24 hours:

  • 8 HOURS a year working with your council on charitable projects for your church and community.
  • 4 HOURS a year enjoying a council social function such as dinner, dance, picnic, etc. with your entire family.
  • 4 HOURS a year attending council meetings to help plan future activities.
  • 6 HOURS a year (or half an hour a month) reading the Knight’s monthly magazine Columbia and visiting the Knight’s website www.kofc.org.
  • 1 HOUR a year meeting with the Knights of Columbus insurance agent for a free analysis of your family’s insurance needs and learn about our exclusive, top-rated programs available only to members and their families.
  • 1 HOUR a year (once a month) attending Mass together with your council.

Since all this can be done in the equivalent of a day, imagine what you can do with us in a week!
