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 Council 10575 was formed by St. Daniel the Prophet Parish men, many, who were active in the weekend set up and take down of the Church environment  for our Sunday Liturgy at two local schools. Many of our members are active in church ministry, social and charity events.

4th Degree
Any Third Degree member in good standing, one year after the anniversary of his First Degree, is eligible for membership in the Fourth Degree. The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism by promoting responsible citizenship and a love of and loyalty to the Knights' respective countries through active membership in local Fourth Degree groups (called "assemblies"). Certain members of the Fourth Degree serve as honor guards at civic and religious functions, an activity that has brought worldwide recognition to the Knights of Columbus.
