We are the Knights of Columbus serving St. Joseph Basilica — bringing charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism to the work of our community.
Father Michael McGivney founded the Knights in 1882 on four ideas that still order everything we do today.
Our first principle. We give time, treasure, and presence to those in need — within our parish and beyond.
Together we accomplish what none of us could alone. The work of the council is the work of brothers, side by side.
We look after one another — and after the men in our community who haven't yet found a home in the Church.
A faith that loves both God and country. We honor those who serve and the freedoms that let our parish flourish.
Our annual weekend drive. Knights at the doors with candy in hand, raising funds for Special Religious Education (SPRED) — supporting families whose children learn differently. Every dollar stays in the diocese.
DetailsWe're recruiting new members to help carry the work to help our St. Joseph Basilica community.
You will not do the work alone. Whether it's Soup Fridays during Lent or a quiet hospital visit on a Wednesday afternoon, you will do it with men who share your faith and your sense of duty.
Pastors carry a great deal. The Knights of Columbus exists in part to lighten that load — to be the men the Pastor can call when something needs doing for the parish and its people.
Faith deepens in community. Our council meets, prays the rosary, breaks bread, and serves together — the slow, sustaining rhythms that mark a Catholic life lived in earnest.
Council 15965 is a parish council. We work in service to Fr. Mario and to the people who fill these pews. Our place is here — that is where we are, and that is where we are most useful.
