Meet John!
St. Martin de Porres Grand Knight,

Have you felt called to become a Knight?
Although a service-oriented organization, the Knights of Columbus leave an indelible mark on all they serve.
Below is information on their organization. Or you could come meet members of the Knights at "Get Connected Sunday."

Our Principles
Living according to the principles of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism, Knights work in local parishes and internationally to make the world a better place each day.

To be a Knight
There is a call deep within each man to go deeper and reach higher to become the man God made him to be. In a world full of challenges, the Knights of Columbus equips men to answer the call to lead with faith, protect their families, serve others and defend their values.

Knights lead with Faith
Knights are committed to daily prayer, weekly Mass, and building a community of faith. This is the Knights of Columbus difference, knowing that you are backed by a band of brothers in the quest to become better Catholic men. Your membership gives you access to faith-building materials that will help you draw closer to God and lead with faith.

Hospitality ministers serve the assembly in offering kindness and welcome to all who gather. They perform ushering duties, collecting the offertory gifts, dismissal for Holy Communion and distribution of bulletins at the beginning of Mass.

Requirements include a smile and arriving twenty minutes before Mass. Training will be provided for other duties. Join us. The reward is great!
