WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A KNIGHT
We are Catholic men who lead, serve, protect and defend. We share a desire to be better husbands, fathers, sons, neighbors and role models and to put charity and community first.,
The Knights of Columbus is not just a fraternity in name. It is a brotherhood of Catholic men who each play a part in improving the world around them, one community at a time. They stand together in faith, dedicated to uphold the principles they cherish while lending their support and strength to parish, home and fellow Knight.

Cor- Prayer, Formation, and Fraternity for Men
The men of Knights of Columbus 11581 are excited to share the implementation of Cor, a new formation and fraternal opportunity for the men of our parish.
Cor exists to form and strengthen Catholic men in faith and virtue as missionary disciples by drawing them into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, formation, and fraternity.
Cor will be held the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month at 7:00 am in the St. Mary’s community room. We will begin with coffee and donuts, watch and discuss a short film from "Into the Breach", and conclude by praying the rosary.
This is open to all men of our parish cluster, not just knights. If you have any questions, please reach out to Robert Lothschutz at 616-292-5964.
Upcoming Meeting Dates: Sept 28, October 12, 26, November 9, 23, December 14,
