2024: Our council of the Knights of Columbus sponsored a breakfast for fellow Knights who put flags on gravesites at Pinelawn Cemetery
FAITH
One of the primary goals of the Knights of Columbus is helping the Catholic Church remain vigorous and undiminished. There are many examples throughout the organization of Knights supporting the Church.
FAMILY
The family is paramount to the Knights of Columbus. Our programs and activities allow families to work and play together to benefit the Church, Community, and one another.
FRATERNITY
Along with the camaraderie that comes with being part of a fraternal organization, our members enjoy working together to assist needy people in their communities.
PATRIOTISM
The Fourth Degree was instituted in 1900 to promote patriotism and active, responsible Catholic citizenship.
If you are interested in helping those in need, serving your parish, growing in your faith, and being part of the largest Catholic fraternal organization, then the Knights of Columbus is the organization for you!
The Knights of Columbus invite all Catholic men 18yr and older to join our council. The Knights of Columbus are active in many fundraising events from our annual Golf Outing, Night at the Races, Superbowl boxes, and more to support several charities, and St. Matthews Parish.
We meet every second and fourth Tuesday of the month, first for business, the second is a casual social meeting. We understand that many of you have busy schedules, that is why we only ask for the time you can give. We say Families first.
