KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS Council #12691
As described in its member magazine "The
Columbia" (Click here), ...." the Knights of Columbus is
a Catholic men's fraternal benefit society that was
formed to render financial aid to members and
their families. Mutual aid and assistance are
offered to sick, disabled and needy members and
their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is
promoted among members and their families
through educational, charitable, religious, social
welfare, war relief and public relief works.
The history of the Order shows how the foresight
of Father Michael J. McGivney, whose cause for
sainthood is being investigated by the Vatican,
brought about what has become the world's
foremost Catholic fraternal benefit society. The
Order has helped families obtain economic
security and stability through its life insurance,
annuity and long-term care programs, and has
contributed time and energy worldwide to service
in communities.
The Knights of Columbus has grown from several
members in one council to more than 12,000
councils and 1.6 million members throughout the
world.
The Knights of Columbus Council of Christ the
King Parish provides services to our parish and
parishioners. We always welcome new members
and if you would like additional information, please
contact Mark Brennan at (508) 798-5745. Former
members and transfers are also welcome.

Although the Council has only been organized in this parish for a few years, we
have over 30 men who are active members, however, we would like more.....
many more to join us in our efforts to "give back" to the Parish and to
others. During the past few years our Parish Council has done a significant

Fund Raisers:
