The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic family fraternal service
organization with 1.6 million members. It provides members and their families with
volunteer opportunities in service to the
Catholic Church, their communities, families and
young people.
As a member of the Knights of Columbus you and your family enjoy many benefits, including
12 free issues annually of the Columbia magazine, the world's largest Catholic
family magazine, eligibility to join the Knights of Columbus top-ranked life insurance
program, and many more family and personal benefits.
Fr. Michael J. McGivney prides itself in the variety of programs that support our youth who are the future of our faith and country. These activities include children's holiday parties, Keep Christ in Christmas poster contest, Annual Tootsie Roll Campaign, Happy Birthday Jesus balloons, Day of Fun for God's Special Ones and assisting handicapped children at Camp Arlington Echo. Active members of the Council can inquire about Hall rentals by contacting Hall Manager Stan Govel by phone at 410-647-1489.
Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to practicing Catholic men in union with the
Holy See, who are at least 18 years old. A practicing Catholic is one who lives up to the
Commandments of God and the precepts of the Church. Application blanks are available from
any member of the Knights of Columbus.

Any Third
Degree member in good standing, one year after the anniversary of his First Degree, is
eligible for membership in the Fourth Degree. The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is
to foster the spirit of patriotism by promoting responsible citizenship and a love of and
loyalty to the Knights' respective countries through active membership in local Fourth
Degree groups (called "assemblies"). Certain members of the Fourth Degree serve
as honor guards at civic and religious functions, an activity that has brought worldwide
recognition to the Knights of Columbus.
Members of our Council belong to the Admiral Benson USN Assembly.
The McGivney Ladies Guild's main function is
to SUPPORT the men and the council. They do this primarily by providing assistance at our
major events and providing monetary help in our major projects. They also assist with
setting up and beautifying the hall for events.
Spouses, daughters and lady friends of council members are encouraged to get involved in the McGivney Ladies Guild. For more on the Ladies Guild, please see our web page.
Under the
guidance of Christian Brother Barnabas McDonald (1865-1929), the first Columbian Squires
circle was instituted in 1925. Membership in the Squires is for Catholic boys between the
ages of 12 and 17. Squires' activities are many, varying from spiritual to active service
for the Church and community. Each circle elects officer members from their own rank,
teaching skills of leadership and responsibility.
We do not at this time have a squires circle. Those interested in this activity are encouraged to visit Squire's Circle 4297 sponsored by Msgr. Raymond P. Kelly Council No. 10966 in Pasadena, MD.
