Knights of Columbus St. Mary Magdalene Council 13779

Our Mission

To serve our parish and community all 125 brother Knights in our council have taken a solemn oath as catholic men to serve their parish, priest and community through charitable, philanthropic, and service projects.

Our order has close to two million Knights world wide. All the good works we do are informed by the four core principles of our order:

• Charity: Our Catholic faith teaches us to "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Members of the Knights of Columbus show love for their neighbors by conducting food drives and donating the food to local soup kitchens and food pantries, by volunteering at Special Olympics, and by supporting, both spiritually and materially, mothers who choose life for their babies. Knights recognize that our mission, and our faith in God, compels us to action. There is no better way to experience love and compassion than by helping those in need, a call we answer every day.
• Unity: None of us is as good as all of us. Members of the Knights of Columbus all know that - together - we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. So we stick together…we support one another. That doesn't mean that we always agree or that there is never a difference of opinion. It does mean that as a Knight of Columbus you can count on the support and encouragement of your brother Knights as you work to make life better in your parish and community.
• Fraternity: The Venerable Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to provide assistance to the widows and children left behind when the family breadwinner died - often prematurely. The Order's top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do individual Knights, who last year gave more than 10 million hours of their time to assist sick and/or disabled members and their families. In the Knights of Columbus, we watch out for and take care of one another.
• Patriotism: Members of the Knights of Columbus, 1.8 million strong are patriotic citizens. We are proud of our devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both. Whether it's in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are among their greatest citizens.

The largest efforts of our members

It is difficult to account for the untold time and hours that our Knights of Columbus members contribute to our parish and community as they are involved in every ministry. Our members always respond to any special request received from Father Greg.

I urge every male parishioner over 18 years of age to consider joining our council as it is undoubtedly the one place to make lasting friendships while participating more fully with fellow parishioners in the life and activities of Saint Mary Magdalene Catholic.
