Who We Are & What We Do

As Catholics, we are called every day to “Live our Faith.” The Knights of Columbus – Our Lady of LaSalette Council 8376 is an organization that helps Catholic men live out their faith through service to others. We undertake service projects that embody the principles of Charity (helping those less fortunate), Unity (shared belief in Christ), and Fraternity (working together to achieve common goals). Our members gather for fellowship, community service, and making a real impact in the lives of those we serve. Our Knights meet monthly for dinner and Council discussions on the 2nd Monday of each month and participate in several volunteer projects throughout the year.

Why We Exist

Founded in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney, the Knights of Columbus began as a response to the needs of immigrant families facing hardship (Families who’d lost the primary breadwinner). Now an international organization with over two million members, the Knights raise over $200 million and volunteer 50 million hours annually. Rooted in Charity and Faith, our mission remains to support families and communities in need.

Who We Serve

The Knights serve the greater community through our time, talent, and treasure. Some examples of our work in 2024 include:

  • Collecting 250 boxes of goods and raising $10,175 for Georgia storm victims.
  • Collecting 315 units of blood across five Knights-led blood drives.
  • Raising $9,600 for local organizations supporting the unborn and new mothers.
  • Distributing winter coats to local schoolchildren and those in need.
  • Hosting over 100 fathers and daughters at the St. Ann’s Daddy-Daughter Dance.
  • Providing Honor Guards at funeral Masses for Knights who served our country.
  • Staffing Adoration hours at St. Ann’s.
