    The Knights of Columbus is an international fraternal organization dedicated to faith, service, and brotherhood. As a college Knight, you will be able to:

    • GROW IN FAITH through prayer, the sacraments, retreats and small group discussions with your brother Knights.
    • BECOME A LEADER in your council and develop professional skills that will prepare you for your postgraduate career.
    • SERVE THE CHURCH AND YOUR COMMUNITY through charitable programs and community initiatives conducted by your council.
    • FORM LASTING FRIENDSHIPS with men who share your Catholic beliefs and passion for service.
    • NETWORK WITH PEERS by attending events such as the annual College Councils Conference, World Youth Day, mission trips and the March for Life.
    • ACCESS TO OUR TOP-RATED LIFE INSURANCE PORTFOLIO including specifically designed financial products for young adults.

    Your membership will continue to aid you after graduation. The Knights of Columbus is a fraternity that can support you as you settle in new cities and explore new career opportunities.

    Here’s what some college graduates have said about their experience as a college Knight:

    “The Knights strive to make every single person who joins a better Catholic, a better student, a better friend, and a better man. When you join the Knights you are not simply joining another group, you are affirming your commitment to become the best version of yourself, your commitment to become a true Catholic gentleman, and your commitment to surround yourself with the types of role models and friends who will help make that possible.”

    Colin Devine, Class of 2016
    Past Grand Knight Notre Dame Council 1477

    “The longer I'm a Knight the more I realize what a special organization this is. There's a real family element involved and it's rooted in fostering the Body of Christ. This role has helped my faith grow tremendously and has shown me the many ways in which we, as a spirit-filled collective of young men, can build the Church and bring light to campus.”

    Nick Padrnos, Class of 2015
    Past Grand Knight Gonzaga University Council 12583

    “There are few more significant programs in which you can be a member and lead as a college student. The impact college Knights can make on campuses mentoring and influencing other students and within their councils is larger than that of perhaps any other collegiate program. College Knights embody the values of chivalry often absent from our campuses and communities, executing amazing charity projects and programs of brotherhood together. In my professional life I reflect often on the lessons of stewardship I learned in these service and fraternal activities.”
