Membership is open to all practicing Catholic men age 18 and over. The principles of the Order are charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. The Knights are involved in many ways that promote the Gospel and enable them to become a spiritual force for the renewal of the Church in holiness, unity, and truth. The Knights spread charity and unity among people by focusing on five core areas: church, community, council, family, and youth. The council conducts fundraising events that draw the Parish together for fellowship and to serve the five core areas, such as monthly breakfasts and Lenten Fish Dinners. The Knights of Columbus also conducts Widows Service Projects 2 times a year when they support Parish Widows by devoting a day of service to them, completing projects around their house that are difficult for them to do.
Regular Council Business Meetings are the First Tuesday of the month at 7:15 and they pray a Rosary before the meeting at 6:30 pm in the Church.
