How the Knights are organized
From parish service to the Fourth Degree
The Knights of Columbus are a Catholic fraternal organization founded by Blessed Michael McGivney in 1882. In Minnesota, St. Paul Council #397 was established in 1899, and the Minnesota State Council formed in 1901. Its programs serve six Minnesota dioceses and draw on the Order’s principles of charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism.
Fourth Degree assemblies
Known as the Patriotic Degree, the Fourth Degree brings Knights from local councils together for patriotic and civic service. Minnesota’s district is part of the Marquette Province. Its work includes service to veterans, preservation of historic sites, and the color corps at civic and church ceremonies.
