NOTRE DAME

COUNCIL NO. # 5163

We are Catholic men who lead, serve, protect and defend.

We share a desire to be better husbands, fathers, sons, neighbors and role models

and to put charity and community first.

FAITH

Faith

We are proud of our devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both. Whether it’s in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens. Our goal is to strengthen our men and their families in the faith.

COMMUNITY

community

Our Catholic faith teaches us to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” As Knights of Columbus, we are called to serve our family and our God. We know that the chance to roll up our sleeves and demonstrate our faith through service is as powerful as it is rewarding.

FAMILY

family

Our goal is for men to lead their families in service - not leave their families for service. Our family programs are an evolution and response to a society that seeks to weaken the bonds of family.

FRATERNITY

fraternity

Many men are drawn to opportunities to be hands-on and to express their faith by working alongside peers in service to others. They want to spend precious free time involved with their families while also building bonds of friendship and fraternity that will last.

proudly serving the west side

Founded on the principles of charity, unity and fraternity, the Knights of Columbus was established in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Conn., and a group of parishioners. Their intent? To bring financial aid and assistance to the sick, disabled and needy members and their families.

Today, Father McGivney is being considered for sainthood, and thousands of councils around the world carry on his mission.
