The first and foremost mission of the Knights of Columbus is helping to provide for the financial security of it's members and their widows and orphans. When the Knights were founded it was very common for Catholic men, many who were immigrants, to die very young and leave their families destitute. Fr. Micheal McGivney saw this first hand
The first and foremost mission of the Knights of Columbus is helping to provide for the financial security of it's members and their widows and orphans. When the Knights were founded it was very common for Catholic men, many who were immigrants, to die very young and leave their families destitute. Fr. Micheal McGivney saw this first hand in his predominently Irish parish. Since it was founded in 1882 by Father McGivney, the Knights of Columbus have provided that support through their own life insurance and financial plannning programs that are available exclusively to members.
Another Mission of the Knights is devotion to the Blessed Virgin, who we refer to as Mary, Queen of the Knights. Faith formation is the bulwark of the order.
The Knights also work hard to support the less fortunate, such as children with mental and intellectual conditions, the poor, unwed mothers and the unborn. Every year the Knights a save thousands of lives of un born children, by providing ultrasound machines to clinics and supporting programs that allow single mothers to care for their babies, as well as adoption assitance to those who can't.
Finally, in giving support to our members in their roles as Husbands and Fathers we help to develop families based on Catholic values, ethics and Christ's teaching. We are your support network!
The Knights are in action everywhere and if you are Catholic man over the age of 18, we need you and you need us. Please consider joining today!!

St Peter Damian Council was founded in April 1984 at the request of then pastor Fr Jerry Klug. Fr Klug was a Knight and knew that the Knights were just the organization the parish needed to bring tha men together for faith formation, volunteerism, fraternity and a sense of belonging to something bigger than just the parish. Fr Klug wanted every man in the parish to be a Knight. Our council also helped develop councils at St John The Evangelist and St Ansgar. Since those humble beginnings the council has thrived. We continue to strive to grow and serve our Lord, our Order and our Parish, while enjoying cameraderie and lasting friendships.
