Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus is a fraternal organization of Catholic men who are at least 18 years of age and a practicing Catholic and who join together in fraternal (Council), family, religious (Church), community, and youth activities.

The more than 2.7 million member organization is international in scope, but the major emphasis is focused on the activities of the individual Council. Through membership, they develop a consciousness of their ability to lead and to assist.  Also, the Knights of Columbus insurance program, scholarship programs, and other fraternal benefits provide support for the family as the basic building block of a civil and moral society.

The Knights of Columbus is an organization fortified by its past and driven by its goal for the future. It is through these five areas of service: faith, community, family, youth, and fellowship, that we truly make a difference.

Each individual council of the Knights of Columbus has its own unique personality, strengths and interests. 
St. Joseph Church has two councils:

Father Bruggraff Council


Cardinal Gibbons Council
