The Knights of Columbus have been actively engaged in striving to Build a Better World since its establishment by Father Michael J. McGivney in New Haven, Connecticut approximately 112 years ago.

You and your family can be part of that effort here at St. Bernadette Parish by joining the Knights of Columbus.  This group of Catholic men and their families has become the world's largest Catholic family fraternal service organization.  Last year Knights throughout the world gave more than $128 million and more than 60 million hours of volunteer service to a broad range of Church, community, family, charities and youth programs.

At every level--in the Vatican and here in the Archdiocese of Seattle--the Knights of Columbus stand in support of the Church and our priests.  Whether it is restoring the Maderno Atrium and the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica, or supporting pro-life; whether it is taking the lead in evangelization on a global scale, or sponsoring a family hour of prayer in our parish, the odds are you will find that the helping hands are those of the Knights.  For example, here in our Parish, the Knights have sponsored a basketball free throw contest for the children, supplemented the St. Bernadette Parish School financial aid program, and offered support for our seminarians.

Currently, the Knights of Columbus are conducting a special membership campaign under the theme of Building a Better World, One Council at a Time.  The Knights have a goal:  they are working to invite every eligible Catholic man and his family to join them in their efforts.  We encourage all potential mmbers to learn more about the Order and join the new Council at St. Bernadette Parish.

OUR CHURCH NEEDS THE KNIGHTS. 

OUR FAMILIES NEED THE KNIGHTS. 

THE KNIGHTS NEED YOU!
