a catholic brotherhood changing the world
Knights come from every stage of life, in countless corners of the world. Join them as they celebrate real role models in a world that needs men who lead, serve, protect, and defend. Since 1882, membership in the Knights of Columbus has been open to men 18 years of age or older, who are "practical" (that is, practicing) Catholics in union with the Holy See. Since that time, the Knights of Columbus have understood "practical catholic" to mean a Catholic who accepts the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live in accord with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in good standing in the Catholic Church.
We are men who lead, serve, protect, and defend, whether we are giving out Coats for Kids, lending a hand in disaster relief efforts, supporting local pregnancy centers by donating ultrasound machines, or providing top-quality financial products.Join our local Shakopee Knights of Columbus Council #1685
