The Knights of Columbus is an organization fortified by its past and driven by its goals for the future. It is through our five areas of service (below) that we truly make a difference.
FAITH (CHURCH)
As Knights, our faith is our foundation. Dedicated to the Catholic Church's growth and her good works, we support religious outreach, promote vocations and provide financial support for seminarians and postulates. This way, we help support our Church and strengthen our personal faith. You will find Knights of Columbus members active in all aspects of church life, with the support of their local council.
COMMUNITY
As committed as we are to the Catholic Church, so we are to our communities. By actively and financially supporting Special Olympics, by leading the charge in pro-life, or by safeguarding the environment, Knights of Columbus members all over the world have helped countless communities prosper. These are just a few of the ways the we help the community at large.
FAMILY
As fathers and husbands, serving our families is not only part of what we do, it's part of who we are. To that end, Knights of Columbus councils offer programs that strengthen family and marital bonds by holding numerous family-focused events. Most importantly, as Knights, we are able to provide assistance and support to Knights and their families whenever needed.
YOUTH
The importance of helping today's youth become tomorrow's leaders is also a huge focus of our order. For that reason, many local councils sponsor Columbian Squires Circles, the order's official youth organization for Catholic young men between the ages of 10 and 18, which provides them the unique opportunity to develop leadership skills. Additionally, through many other local efforts, the Knights of Columbus assists youth in building a strong sense of civic and religious responsibility.
FELLOWSHIP (COUNCIL)
To be a Knight means to believe in each other as we believe in ourselves. We realize that by creating strong, social and supportive local councils, we help create a stronger order worldwide and ensure an even stronger future.
