The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic Fraternal Service Organization founded 120 years ago by the Venerable Father Michael McGivney.
In keeping with our founder’s vision for the organization, our activities foster our spiritual growth within our church, enrich our fellowship with our brothers and fellow man, and support the ideals of our country. The Knights uphold four key principles as pillars of the Order: Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism.
There are activities that are fun-filled for the entire family as well as those that improve us as individuals and as members of our church and community.
Some of our volunteer and community activities include the annual Knights Friday Night Fish Fries during lent, the annual St. Patrick’s Dinner dance and the November spaghetti dinners, and the monthly highway clean-up project. We also provide physical and financial support for St. Peter the Apostle Church, St. Peter the Apostle School, and St. Peter Thrift Shop, as well as community organizations such as Fallbrook Food Pantry, Hope Clinic, REINS, D’vine Path, and the Boys and Girls Club.
Our members meet every second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall of St. Peter’s. We also enjoy family potlucks every fourth Wednesday also in the Parish Hall. If you are interested in joining our ranks and want to be a man of service and meet like-minded Catholic men, please contact our Grand Knight Adam Nogueira at 760 535 5387 or [email protected].
The only requirement for membership is that you must be a practicing Catholic and must be at least 18 years of age. Our annual dues are $60.
