Minnesota Knights of Columbus

Craig Larson, State Deputy

Obviously we all said yes when asked to join the Knights. We still have many opportunities to say “yes” to serve our families, churches, communities, councils, youth, and to support the Culture of Life. Please make sure to use your gifts and talents to say “yes” when asked to help out with a council project. Read more...

The Year of Faith
October 12, 2012 to November 24, 2013

Fr. Ryan Moravitz, State Chaplain

By: Ray Wojtysiak, State Treasurer

We are in the midst of winter, and more than a few of you are headed to warmer weather, therefore, making it a challenge for your council to get volunteers to work the programs. We could all make it a little easier by recruiting new members, especially younger members. The Knights of Columbus has a lot to offer the many Catholic men just waiting to be asked to join us.
