How To Become A Member

There are only two requirements for a man to join the Knights of Columbus: that he be a practical Catholic as understood by the Church, and that he be 18 years of age or older.

While dues-paying membership is only for practical Catholic men, most council activities are open to the member's entire family, like social and family activities, scholarships, volunteer service programs and insurance benefits.

Candidates join local units, called "councils," most of which are associated with one Catholic parish, but often having membership from multiple surrounding parishes.  The candidate takes part in initiation degrees that explain the Knights of Columbus' four principles: Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism.

A candidate is considered a "Knight" after taking his First Degree, but he is encouraged to advance through the Second and Third Degrees and on to the Fourth Degree.  Members of the Fourth Degree promote the virtue of patriotism by serving in honor guards, color corps and enhance respect for the country and the flag.

Please complete the application form and someone will be in touch with you.
