KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Brotherhood in Christ.
Service to others.
The Knights of Columbus is a global Catholic fraternal service organization founded in 1882 by Blessed Michael J. McGivney. Rooted in faith, charity, and brotherhood, the Knights are dedicated to serving the Church, supporting families, and living out Catholic values through works of mercy, fellowship, and community service.
St. Michael’s Council 14295 is made up of approximately 140 Catholic men who are committed to growing in faith, serving others, and supporting the life of the Church. The council meets monthly at St. Michael’s Parish Hall, where members come together in fraternity, prayer, and shared mission.
The Knights of Columbus are guided by four core principles:
Charity
Serving those in need through generous acts of compassion, fundraising, and outreach, in response to Christ’s call to love and care for one another.
Unity
Working together in solidarity to strengthen the parish, support one another, and build up the wider Catholic community.
Fraternity
Fostering brotherhood among men of faith through friendship, mutual encouragement, and a shared commitment to service.
Patriotism
Honoring our civic responsibilities and promoting love of country in a spirit consistent with Catholic teaching.
Council 14295 is dedicated to supporting St. Michael’s Catholic Church, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Mission Church, St. Michael Academy, and a variety of charitable organizations throughout Nassau County. Through fundraising efforts, parish support, and charitable outreach, the council seeks to make a meaningful difference in both the Church and the local community.
Catholic men age 18 and older from St. Michael Catholic Church and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Mission Church are invited to consider joining the Knights of Columbus as a way to deepen their faith, grow in brotherhood, and serve God through active involvement in parish and community life. To join, men must be practicing Catholics in good standing with the Church.
