Our St. Patrick Council 8601 was chartered on St. Patrick's Day in 1984 and currently has more than 120 members. The Knights of Columbus is an internationally recognized organization with thousands of local councils and over 2 million members worldwide.
Council 8601 meetings are held the 1st Thursday of each month in the parish Family Center. You are invited to join us in our good works done for the parish, for youth, for seminarians, for those less fortunate, and in the fight to respect life. Being a Knight allows you to work with a team of men to give back to others in ways that many are unable to do as an individual. You will enjoy the camaraderie of other men in the parish who share the same values and duty to God and family that you do. Many men wait to be invited before joining. Well, consider yourself invited! We would love to have you join us.
If you are a practicing Catholic man, at least 18 years old and in agreement with the teachings of the church, now is the time to become a Knight! YOU CAN GET INFORMATION ON THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS AND COUNCIL 8601 BY CALLING OUR MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR, MIKE GIROIR, AT 504-606-3934 OR EMAIL HIM AT [email protected].
