Knights of Columbus Council 6540
From the moment of our founding in 1882, charity has been the first principle of the Knights of Columbus. We are men of faith and men of action. We undertake these acts of charity beause we see those in need through the eyes of faith. Moreover, in the Knights of Columbus, we approach these acts of charity together. Pope Benedict XVI calls this the "practice of love...as a community."
Our charitable activities encompass an almost infinite variety of local, national and international projects. From international charitable partnerships with Special Olympics, the Global Wheelchair Mission and Habitat for Humanity to our own Food for Families and Coats for Kids projects and other purely local charities, the opportunity to work together with fellow Knights and their families is virtually endless. -- Taken from www.kofc.org
The Knights of Columbus meet once a month at the Cathedral. If you're interested in helping those in need, serving our parish, and growing in your faith, please call John Berger at 701-319-8602.
