  Financial Scretary

Joining the Knights of Columbus can change your life. As a Knight, you have the opportunity to strengthen your parish, give back to your community, grow in your faith and gain exclusive access to our portfolio of top-rated insurance products to financially protect your family. Councils conduct many programs that support your parish and community including:
- Various prayer and Eucharistic adoration programs
- Fund raising for Catholic education
- Participating in the Coats for Kids and Food for Families programs
- Encouraging vocations to the priesthood and religious life
But joining your local council does not mean that you need to sacrifice quality time with your family. By volunteering an hour here or an hour there - with or without your family - can make an enormous difference in your life and in the lives of others.

If you’re interested in helping those in need in your parish and community, strengthening your parish and your familial relationships, growing in your faith, and gaining exclusive access to top-rated insurance protection for you and your family, then consider joining the Knights of Columbus council associated with your parish.

Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to men 18 years of age or older who are practical (that is, practicing) Catholics in union with the Holy See. This means that an applicant or member accepts the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live in accord with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in good standing in the Catholic Church.

Once approved by the members, the Grand Knight and Financial Secretary will sign off on the Form 100. A copy of this this form will now be returned to you and your sponsor so can schedule and attend your Degree Ceremony. Once you have attended your degree and paid your yearly membership dues, you will be issued your membership card at the next month’s business meeting and officially welcomed into our family of brother Knights!
