Knights of Columbus are Catholic gentlemen committed to the exemplification of charity, unity, fraternity, patriotism, and defense of the priesthood.

The Order is consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Order is unequivocal in its loyalty to the Pope, the Vicar of Christ on earth. It is firmly committed to the protection of human life, from conception to natural death, and to the preservation and defense of the family.  

You will find brother Knights working to fulfill the central mission of the Order: striving in charitable works; serving the Church and unified in following its teachings; supporting brother Knights in their temporal and spiritual needs; acting for the good of their country; and giving aid to widows, orphans, the sick and the poor. Knights of Columbus also offers Life Insurance to members.

Our council members have been involved in many activities which benefit the church and community.  Thousands of hours, mostly fun hours, have been spent on such activities as these listed below.

History of our Council

St. Elizabeth Seton Council, Knights of Columbus was established in 1989 for the men in the parish. Our first associate pastor, Reverend John Balluff, was instrumental in starting the Council with 35 interested men.

Following the spiritual guidance of the parish priests, our goal is to work with the leaders of the parish to enhance the parish community through service projects and works of mercy.
