Fervently Catholic

As a subordinate council of the Knights of Columbus, our goal is to help men, their families, and our local parishes grow closer to Christ. Through our programs and resources, we provide opportunities to live and spread the Catholic faith.

Cor

Are you ready to reap the benefits of a deeper relationship with Christ? Join us at the St. Joseph Catholic Church Hall at 6:30pm every second Tuesday of the month for Cor.

Cor exists to form and strengthen men through prayer, formation, and fraternity. If you’re ready for more meaningful relationships and a life of greater strength in faith and virtue, then you’re ready for Cor.

You do not need to be a Knight to attend. All men are welcome.
