The Knights of Columbus (K of C) is an international fraternal organization promoting sanctity of life, supporting the role and goals of the Catholic Church, and striving to make its members the best versions of Catholic/Christian men, husbands and fathers.
From its humble beginnings in 1882, the K of C has grown to more than 17,000 councils and 2.1 million members. Councils exist on all continents (except Antarctica). Most councils are part of Catholic parishes, but there are also independent councils with members from many parishes, and councils have been formed on many military installations in the U.S. and abroad.
In addition to helping men develop into the best versions of themselves, the Knights provide economic security for members and their families in the form of insurance, mutual aid and assistance to sick, disabled and needy. It contributes time and energy worldwide to communities and disaster relief. Social, Spiritual and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through education, charity, religion, social welfare, war relief and public relief works.
The Blessed Sacrament council currently has 25 members and even though we’re associated with the parish, catholic men in good standing from any other parish are welcome to join us.
Our council has and continues to support many parish, community and state-wide Knights of Columbus activities. Some examples of our sponsored/supported activities include:
Organizing the Annual Parish Picnic
Doughnuts and Social Gathering After Weekend Mass
Coordinating Local Blood Drives
Delivering Holy Eucharist to the Sick and Shut-In
Supporting Special Olympics
