If you are interested in helping those in need, serving our parish, growing in faith, or obtaining exclusive access to top-rated insurance protection for your family, then joining St. Therese Council 12873 of the Knights of Columbus is the organization for you.
When our organization began, in order to help each other, our members "passed the hat" to assist families of deceased members. Soon, however, this became impossible, as the number of our members grew.
Out of this simple process, we've evolved into a modern, dynamic insurance organization, and offer a wide variety of products to suit virtually everyone's needs.
Degrees in the Knights of Columbus
The Order is dedicated to the principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. These are the virtues of the First through Fourth Degrees, respectively.
First, Second and Third Degrees These Degrees are attained in a single ceremony that teaches the basic principles of the Knights of Columbus. Family members are encouraged to attend the ceremony so that they can better understand what it means to be a Knight.
Fourth Degree Any Third Degree member in good standing is eligible for membership in the Fourth Degree. The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism.
