KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

A Catholic, Family, Fraternal, Service Organization

 

About Us

 

What Do We Do?

That is a fair question. In our society today, we are being pulled from all directions for our time, our money and for our minds. The one thing that should capture our life is the love of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We are members of the Holy Catholic Church, the greatest supporter of Christianity. The Knights of Columbus was organized in 1882 to help the widows and children of the workingmen to escape the life of destitution. The organization was formed under the principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternalism and Patriotism. I believe you can appreciate that if we all follow these ideals, our organization is going to grow in what we do.

First and foremost we support the clergy of the Church. Dr. Earl C. Bach Council 3340 supports three parishes; Saint Mary’s, All Souls and Saint Louis. We support our spouses, children and family. We have a present membership of 400+ brothers. The largest council in Colorado. We meet on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at 8:00 PM in the Council hall located at 3800 Windermere Street, Englewood.

The following are some of the things we do. Keep in mind that a great deal of what we do is raise money to support the various benefactors.
