"Enter the desert..."

Knights of Columbus Council 9065

Have you heard God’s calling for you to get involved?   

If God asked you today, would you step up to be a catholic man & role model to others.  To be available to help your church, Corpus Christi, and your community.

I invite you to Join the Corpus Christi Knights of Columbus.  We are the world’s largest Catholic fraternal organization, and we are often referred to as “the right arm of the Catholic Church”.  This religious organization was founded by Rev. Michael J. McGivney in 1882.

All the good works we do are informed by our four core principles:   

Charity – Our Catholic faith teaches us to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Members of the Knights of Columbus show love for their neighbors by conducting food drives and donating the food to food bank to help those in need, and by supporting, both spiritually and materially, mothers who choose life for their babies. Knights recognize that our mission, and our faith in God, compels us to action. There is no better way to experience love and compassion than by helping those in need, a call we answer every day.   

Unity – None of us is as good as all of us. Members of the Knights of Columbus all know that – together – we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. So, we stick together…we support one another. That doesn’t mean that we always agree or that there is never a difference of opinion. It does mean that – as a Knight of Columbus – you can count on the support and encouragement of your brother Knights as you work to make life better in your parish and community.   

Fraternity – Venerable Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to aid the widows and children left behind when the family breadwinner died – often prematurely. The Order’s top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do the good works of individual Knights, who gave more than 75.6 million service hours in 2017, illustrating how Catholics serve each other in fraternity and mercy.

Patriotism – Members of the Knights of Columbus regardless of their race are patriotic citizens. We are proud of our devotion to God and country and believe in standing up for both. Whether it’s in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens.

We look forward to meeting with you and having you add your values, voice, and commitment to help our church and community.

Vivat Jesus,
