If you are a practical Catholic man, age 18 or older, we welcome you to join the leading organization of Catholic laymen.
Being a Knight is more than camaraderie; it is being involved with your community; it is supporting your local Catholic Church while enhancing your own faith; it is about protecting and enhancing your family life. Come see just what we are all about and take the first steps to enhance your personal life by viewing the segment: “Why Join?”
Our council is located in Rockdale, Illinois and is currently hosted by St. Joseph’s Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FFSP) parish in the Joliet Diocese. Our members come from various Illinois cities including: Rockdale, Bolingbrook, Elwood, Frankfurt, Joliet, Lockport, Manhattan, Mokena, Naperville, New Lenox, Orland Park, Plainfield, Shorewood, St. Charles, Tinley Park, as well as a few other Chicago and Joliet suburbs.
The St. Joseph FSSP parish in Rockdale unites us in our common goal to actively promote not only the Knights of Columbus, St. Joseph’s Parish, but also the Catholic Extraordinary Form [Latin] Traditional Roman Rite (also known as the Tridentine Rite) as last promulgated by His Late Holiness Pope John the XXIII and bolstered by His Late Holiness Pope Benedict the XVI’s Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum in 2007.
If you are interested in joining the Knights of Columbus, please fill out this form and we will contact you to begin this exciting journey. Alternately, email us: recruiting at kofc18037.org.
