The Knights of Council 12295 serve the parish here at St. Mary Magdalen. They help with an incredble number of projects--projects in the parish and projects beyond our campus. Some of the things that our Knights are involved in include the Annual Car Show, pancake breakfasts, pasty sales, Special Olympics, Men's Ministry, special prayer services, the parish picnic, and a lot more. The Knights also recently renovated the duplex, giving us great meeting spaces and some extra storage. The Knights are an integral part of our parish and any Catholic man 18 or older is invited to join our ranks!FOR INFORMATION CONTACT GRAND KNIGHT, Tom Chouinard: [email protected]

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.
