The Knights of Columbus is, above all, a fraternity, a brotherhood of like-minded Catholic men and their families. Members aim to support one another in good times and bad and thereby strengthen the ideals of Catholic Knighthood. Active participation in membership recruitment efforts, the degree ceremonials, and the social and athletic programs of a council enhance one’s appreciation of what it means to be a Knight of Columbus.

The Knights of Columbus Saint Joseph Council 12788 is dedicated in service to one, in service to all. The Knights of Columbus Council 12788 is the foundation of Columbianism in our parish. Saint Joseph Council 12788 has grown its family to include the Columbiettes. We are hoping this website will provide you with information in regards to our Columbianism Family which supports our community and our parish of Saint Joseph. With the inspiration and support of our parish pastor, we have accomplished and supported numerous activities for our parish and Life and Education Center. Please browse through our website and find the information on our Columbianism Family, latest news, events, and links to other helpful information.

The Silver Rose Pro-Life Prayer Service sponsored by the Knights of Columbus will be held Tuesday, September 21, at 6PM at the Gazebo.   Pictures below are from last year's event.  All are welcome to come and join us this year.  





 





Through the Silver Rose program, we ask the Blessed Mother to guide us as we step into the breach and fight against the culture of death that grips our society. Each year, silver roses journey along routes across North America including Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Along the way, the roses are handed off from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and council to council. We were so blessed to have the Silver Rose Program held here at Saint Joseph on Thursday August 20 at 7 PM at the rectory Gazebo.  With these silver roses, we honor Our Lady of Guadalupe and affirm our dedication to the sanctity of human life.  The rose used in this service was blessed by Pope Francis in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the program during a February 2020 meeting between the Holy Father, Supreme Knight Carl Anderson, and Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William Lori at the Vatican.
 
 

Sunday Coffee Club

Members of the Saint Joseph’s Knights of Columbus provide individuals and families the opportunity to meet and socialize after all Masses on most Sundays during the school year. Usually donuts, pastries, coffee, and milk are available to enable individuals to relax and meet other members of the parish. Individuals other than members of the Knights are welcome to volunteer their services during these functions. A sign-up sheet for volunteers is maintained in the kitchen for anyone, including students, interested in helping.
