The Knights of Columbus are Catholic men who try to make a difference in this world by being Men of God. We serve Him by serving humanity through service to His Church. We are part of the largest Catholic men’s fraternal organization on earth – 1.8 million strong.

What the Knights do:
We support the Pro-Life cause in all its stages, from conception to natural death. Our largest effort is through Project Rosebud which joins with Birthright of Pittsburgh and the East Suburban Infant Jesus Respect Life Committee (RLC) to provide material and emotional support to financially abandoned, abortion-minded mothers-to-be. This support begins one month before the expected delivery date, and ends when the child is one year old. In addition to home visits by Knights, their spouses and RLC members, we raise money to purchase needed furniture, clothes, and baby supplies. From 2008 through the present, we have assisted fourteen moms.

We support Religious Vocations by providing a monthly stipend to local seminarians to assist them with expenses.

We collect thousands of dollars each year for the K of C Bishop’s Project which is used to help children or adults with mental, physical, or developmental problems in the St. Anthony School Program and at the McGuire Memorial Home. You’ll see us at shopping centers passing out Tootsie Rolls for donations, at Masses collecting ”pennies,” and selling Christmas seals to raise funds for this charity.

At Christmas time each year we purchase and deliver baskets of food to needy families in our parish and adjoining ones.

We provide free educational and religious booklets on the Faith that you see in the vestibule of the church. We purchase over 1000 of these each year.

We provide stimulus funds to help local parishes for costly projects. Recently we provided funds for half the cost of new the St. Bernadette sound system. We have also assisted other local parishes with funds to assist with needed repairs or facility improvements.

We meet on the 2nd and 4th Monday of every month.
