New Council Development

Blessed Michael McGivney envisioned a Knights of Columbus council in every parish—a place where Catholic men could guard their faith and support one another in charity. Today, our local councils remain the lifeblood of the Order. 

Starting a new council might seem like a daunting task, but we are reminded that "Your Grace is Sufficient for me." With Christ directing our efforts, expanding the Order is entirely within our reach. A new council injects fresh energy into a parish, creates a tight-knit community of Catholic men, and provides immediate support to the pastor's initiatives. You do not have to do this alone; our state team offers complete step-by-step guidance, recruitment resources, and administrative support. If you would like to explore the possibility of bringing the Knights of Columbus to your parish, please reach out to our New Council Development Chairman:
