Knights of Columbus

Are you a Catholic man (18+) who wants to grow in his faith and serve the community? The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic Fraternal Organization. The order was named in honor of Christopher Columbus and was founded as a way to serve as a mutual benefit society for the working class and immigrant Catholics. The “Knights” have a strong tradition of providing charitable services. The principles of the order are Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism.

Our local council is the St. Mary Council #4065, which also serves St. Mary the Mother of the Church in Fishkill and St. Denis in Hopewell Junction in addition to St. Columba. We meet twice a month for prayer and to plan our many outreach and charitable initiatives. We provide support for many local organizations and causes through fundraisers and events, including support for seminarians and deacon candidates in formation, first responders, Special Olympics, and families in need; you can view the full list of our programs at stmarys4065.org
