If you are interested in serving your parish, helping those in need, growing your faith and being part of a world-class fraternal organization, then join us!
Our Four Principles
Charity
Unity
Fraternity
Patriotism
Become a part of what Pope John Paul II called “the strong right arm of the Church”
Saint Pope John Paul II called the Knights of Columbus this because of our service to both the Church and to the community.
Ready to get involved?
We offer activities ranging from Pro-Life prayer vigils to a cookout for retired priests and from a youth Free Throw contest to the Keep Christ in Christmas poster contest. We volunteer at Special Olympics and host Bingo for our Veteran’s in residence at the VA hospital.
We also host or participate in parish events like the Irish Supper, Father-Daughter Dance, Parish Picnic and Church Fair and we have organized a NH Food Bank drive and collect items to support Pregnancy Centers to help young mothers.
YOU can be a part of all of this!
We meet at 7PM on the 1st Tuesday of each month.
You only commit as much time as you like.
We are always in need of more Catholic men to help us continue our service to the Church and to our neighbors in the community.
Vivat Jesus!

Join our Order and enrich your own life as you help our parish and others in our community.
There are activities and events that will truly leave you feeling grateful to have been a part of it. Often times you walk away feeling you benefitted as much as those you helped.
Yes, your time is precious but if you can spare some, your gift comes back to you in a sense of accomplishment and fulfilment.
Your compassion and your love of others are blessings you can grow through your action.
Our Founder, Blessed Michael J. McGivney, started the Knights of Columbus in the basement of St. Mary’s Church in New Haven, CT in 1882 as a way to provide insurance to families otherwise left destitute by the loss of their father in the all-too-commonplace work accidents of the time.
In May of 2020 his intercession was credited with the miraculous cure of a baby in utero whose parents were advised there was no chance of survival. His Beatification took place October 31st at the Cathedral of St. Joseph in Hartford, CT.
