The Challenge to become involved has never been greater. If you are a practical Catholic man, aged 18 or over, the Knights of Columbus may be just what you’ve been looking for. You can become as involved as you want. Just remember that the Knights offer an opportunity for fellowship with people who share the same duty to God, to family, and to folks down the block.

The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882, when Father Michael J. McGivney and a small group of men founded a society for windows and orphans of Catholic parishioners.

Father McGivney’s idea grew into Order of Catholic men and their families. This order is dedicated to promoting the ideals of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. Today, there are over 1.7 million members throughout the world.

The Knights of Columbus, as a fraternal organization, provides low-cost insurance “for Brother Knights by Brother Knights.” It is truly a family affair.

For new members, a special low-cost policy is available upon initiation, complete with increasing cash values and dividends. Wives of new members are also eligible to participate in this special plan.

As a member of St. Leo Council (#9461) you will be joining about 60 of your neighbors. These men come from different local parishes, but they are all joining together in order to help others.

“I was hungry and you fed me.”
“I was naked and you clothed me.”
“I was ill and you comforted me.”
“I was in prison and you visited me.”

Knights don’t believe in sitting by and just looking at life.

Knights feed the hungry, and they help to shelter the homeless. They support charitable causes, and they fight to protect the rights of the unborn.

For more information, call St. Leo K of C at 392-9730.

Regular meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30 PM.
