The 24 Hour Knight

"I don't have time to give to the Knights, so why should I join?"

It's a common concern among many men that just don't think they have the time to be part of the Knights of Columbus.  Imagine, if you will, that I tell you that it only takes 24 hours a year to be a Knights of Columbus member, and that you make a positive difference in your Church, yourself, and your community.  Even with this minimal commitment, you can be an important part of a council, and reap the benefits of what membership in the Knights of Columbus has to offer you and your family.

Here is the breakdown:

12 hours a year reading your weekly parish bulletin, the state & local council newsletters, the Diocesan newspaper, the Columbia magazine, and surfing the state council and Supreme Council websites.

2 hours a year volunteering at the council's annual drive for people with intellectual disabilities.

2 hours a year attending, with your family, two council corporate Communions or prayer services at your parish.

2 hours a year on a council-sponsored Church, community, council, family or youth project of your choosing.

2 hours a year attending a council meeting. (If it's a well-run interesting meeting, you might be back for a second!)

4 hours a year enjoying (again, with your entire family) a council social function, such as a dinner, dance, picnic, etc.

There are 8,760 hours in a year.  By giving the Knights of Columbus 24 hours (less than .3%), YOU CAN BE A BETTER CATHOLIC, A BETTER PERSON, A BETTER HUSBAND, AND A BETTER FATHER.  Think of the difference that the Knights of Columbus can make if you join us.  Know that it only takes 24 hours a year to make a difference in your Church, in yourself, and in your community.

The Knights are pleased to announce a new website for the latest in news about activities and winners in our raffle.  To access our new website, please go to and check us out.  We look forward to your visit!!
