The Knights of Columbus is an international Catholic family fraternal service organization with nearly 1.6 million members in more than 12,000 local councils. Last year, Knights donated 60 million volunteer hours and $125 million to charitable and benevolent causes, sponsoring projects to benefit their church, councils, communities, families and youth.
Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to practical Catholic men in union with the Holy See, who shall not be less than 18 years of age on their last birthday. A practical Catholic is one who lives up to the Commandments of God and the Precepts of the Church. Application blanks are available from any member of the Knights of Columbus.
Acceptance of an applicant depends upon a vote of the members of the subordinate council in which he is making application. If favorably voted upon, the applicant becomes a member by initiation in what is known as the First Degree. He subsequently is advanced through the Second Degree and the Third Degree. All priests and religious brothers who have duly made application for membership and participated in the ceremonials become honorary life members of the Order and are exempt from payment of dues.
There are modest initiation fees ad dues set by the subordinate councils under regulations established by the Supreme Council. The insurance privileges are available to all members who can qualify, which represents an important advantage of membership. For men in every walk of life the name of the Knights of Columbus engenders the image of a united organization, efficiently going about its tasks of charity, unity, fraternity, patriotism and defense of the priesthood. It is composed of men who are giving unselfishly of their time and talents in the service of God and their country.
