Knights of Columbus

You and your family are invited to join the Knights of Columbus.  The Knights of Columbus and the Auxiliary are a Catholic family non-profit organization dedicated to the virtues of charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. 

The Knights of Columbus began in 1882 and today there are more than a million and a half members in over 14,000 local councils.  Blaine-Coon Rapids Council #5141 began in 1961 and the Auxiliary began in 1967.  The Knights of Columbus donates nearly $140 million annually to charitable causes and reports over 40 million volunteer hours.

The Knights of Columbus offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities which support the Church and the community.  Time commitments vary and the camaraderie and friendship from the group are immense.

The Knights of Columbus offers a low-cost group insurance and investment plans for the entire family.  We meet in St. Timothy's Hospitality Center on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 7:30 PM.
