Membership Benefits

As a member of the Knights of Columbus you and your
family enjoy many benefits, including 12 free issues annually of the Columbia magazine, the world's largest Catholic family magazine, eligibility to join the Knights of Columbus top-ranked life insurance program, and many more family and personal benefits.

Membership brings the benefits of fellowship and community involvement, which are so critical to the moral and spiritual health of every individual family. Our council has begun plans for many exciting events in the coming months. For more information, please contact our Membership Chairman, Stu Nolan. 

The Fourth Degree

Are you aware that any Third Degree member of the Knights 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. Dates and locations for initiation into the Fourth Degree will be announced as they become available. 


The Columbian Squires

Under the guidance of Christian Brother Barnabas McDonald (1865-1929), the first Columbian Squires circle was instituted in 1925. Membership in the Squires is for Catholic boys between the ages of 12 and 17. Squires' activities are many, varying from spiritual to active service for the Church and community. Each circle elects officer members from their own rank, teaching skills of leadership and responsibility. If you have an interest in helping with this worthwhile endeavor, please contact Dave Wilson, Council Grand Knight.
