Membership

We are Knights. Men committed to acting on our faith and helping the world. Our strong dedication to serving the Church is rooted in our Order’s humble beginnings. When our founder, Father Michael J. McGivney, gathered a few of his parishioners together, his hope was to unite men in their faith and provide for Catholic families in time of need.

As Knight, our faith is our foundation. We are dedicated to the Catholic Church’s growth and her good works. Through our many programs we help our Church and our community. Through involvement in these programs in their parish and community, our members become better Catholics. Our fraternity of Brotherhood gives us the strength and desire to grow in our faith.

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 forms are available from any member of the Knights of Columbus.

As a member of the Knights of Columbus you and your family enjoy many benefits, including some free life insurance and the opportunity to join the Knights of Columbus top-ranked life insurance program, and 12 free issues annually of the Columbia magazine.
