So why should I be a Knight?
Knights
are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, who are committed to making
their community a better place, while supporting their Church. Being a
Knight is more than camaraderie; it is being involved with your community;
it is supporting your local Catholic Church, while enhancing your own
faith; it is about protecting and enhancing your family life.
The core virtues of the Knights
include:
Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism
The Protection of Human Life
The Knights of Columbus is unambiguously
and proudly pro-life. In accordance with the teachings of the Catholic
Church, the Order defends human life from the moment of conception until
natural death. Building a new Culture of Life where every human life is
welcomed, respected and protected by law is one of the highest priorities
of the Order.
Community of Involvement
The history of the Knights
of Columbus's involvement in community life is a record of outstanding
benevolent achievement. Knights volunteer in a variety of charitable
enterprises to serve the people and programs of their communities.
Volunteerism informed by Christian concern is the
hallmark of the Knights of Columbus. It results in outstanding
contributions of time and talent to the Catholic Church, our communities,
families, young people and brother Knights.
Much of the success of the Order's volunteer record
can be attributed to the fact that the Supreme Council does not mandate
participation in any volunteer initiative. Fraternal and charitable
programs arise at the grassroots level to meet the local needs.
Church Support
Supporting the Catholic
Church has been a hallmark of the Knights of Columbus since its founding
in 1882. From funding the restoration of the facade of St. Peter's
Basilica in Rome to operating an usher ministry at a local parish, the
Knights of Columbus serves the Church in countless ways.
Our Knights of Columbus serve OLH with:
- Hosting the monthly "Donut Sunday" in the
Parish Center
- Working as the "Bingo Crew" every 5th week

How can I join?
