Who
are the Knights?
The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic
family fraternal service organization with 1.6 million
members. It provides members and their families with
volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church,
their communities, families and young people.
Membership
Benefits
Being a Knight is more than
camaraderie, it is being involved with your community, helping
to support people within our own community; it is
supporting your local Church, our parish is St. Daniel the
Prophet, while enhancing your own faith; it is about
protecting and enhancing your family life. There is no feeling
like knowing that your efforts are benefiting those in our
own community. Come see just what
we are all about. Our logo above says it all "In Service to
One. In Service to All"
Our Council has a long History
of Service to the Community of St. Daniels.
Our Parish Knights of Columbus

many, who were active in the weekend set up and take down of the
Church environment for our Sunday Liturgy at two local schools.

charity events.

promoting responsible citizenship and a love of and loyalty
