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.

Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to practicing Catholic men in union with the Holy See, who are at least 18 years old. A practicing Catholic is one who lives up to the Commandments of God and the precepts of the Church. Application blanks are available from any member of the Knights of Columbus.

Any Third Degree member in good standing, one year after the anniversary of his First Degree, is eligible for membership in the Fourth Degree. The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism by promoting responsible citizenship and a love of and loyalty to the Knights' respective countries through active membership in local Fourth Degree groups (called "assemblies"). Certain members of the Fourth Degree serve as honor guards at civic and religious functions, an activity that has brought worldwide recognition to the Knights of Columbus.
