Knights of Columbus Council 8366
Grand Knight, Donald Kennedy

The Knights of Columbus is an international Catholic Men's Organization, founded in Connecticut by Father Michael J. McGivney on March 29, 1882. The Knights of Columbus began so that men could work together to serve their parishes and communities, support each other in faith and protect the well being of their Catholic families. Becoming a Knight of Columbus can transform your life.

The Knights of Columbus St. Joseph Chapter is always open to inquiries about membership or the charities that we assist.  

The St. Joseph Chapter of the Knights began in 1983 and is very involved in service to the parish and community. We meet once a month on the first Thursday at 7:00 pm in the church basement and discuss parish projects and upcoming events.  Plus, we have a lot of fun and fellowship and great food at our meetings. Please contact the Parish Office at 815-678-7421 or saintjosephchurch@gmail.com
