Who are the Knights?
The Knights of Columbus (KofC) is the world's largest Catholic family fraternal service organization with 1.6 million members. It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young people.


As a member of the Knights of Columbus you and your family enjoy many benefits, including 12 free issues annually of the Columbia magazine, the world's largest Catholic family magazine, eligibility to join the Knights of Columbus top-ranked life insurance program, and many more family and personal benefits.

Brother Knight John F. Kennedy said, "There are risks and costs to a program of action.  But they are far less than the long range risks and costs of comfortable inaction."  Again, quoting President Kennedy, "Things do not happen; things are made to happen."

Are you someone who wants to make things happen within our Parish?  If yes, then membership and participation in the KofC and our Council is worth your talent, time, and treasurer.  Our focus is to help further God's Kingdom right here in Spartanburg.  Consider this your personal call to active membership.  Together, we can accomplish much for our Faith, Family, and Parish.
