Saint Joseph and Ascension Council Number 3814 of the Knights of
Columbus was founded in 1954. The council hosts many activities throughout the
year for the church, youth, family, and the community.
What It Means to Be a Knight of Columbus
Membership in
the Knights of Columbus is open to practical Catholic men in union with the
Holy See, who are at least 18 years old. A practical Catholic is one who lives
up to the Commandments of God and the precepts of the Church.
Candidates
join local units, called "councils," most of which are based in one
Catholic parish, or in the community at large. The candidate takes part in
initiation degrees that explain the Knights of Columbus´ four principles:
Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism.
The individual Admission, Formation and Knighthood Degree (a.k.a.
1st, 2nd, 3rd Degrees) have been merged into a new "Charity, Unity,
Fraternity (CUF) Degree. The new CUF Degree can now take place with friends
& family of the Council in attendance per instructions from Supreme Council.
Knights of Columbus have a proud
heritage. The qualified Catholic man can share in this heritage and build
for an even greater future by affiliating himself with this forceful, effective
fraternal organization. All priests and religious brothers having duly made
application for membership and participated in the CUF degree become honorary
life members of the Order and are exempt from payment of dues.
