Knights of Columbus 

Make a difference and join the largest Catholic family fraternal service organization in the world!

KOC is a social, fraternal organization dedicated to charitable work for the Tucson community. Our members are mem of character and distinction who strive to act on behalf of their faith, as well as their conscience. The five areas of service are:

• Faith
• Family
• Community
• Fellowship
• Youth

Charity is the first principle of the Knights of Columbus. Knights are men who get things done. They volunteer their time to serve Tucson parishes and communities. By working together, they donated more than $1.5 billion and 691 million volunteer hours to worthy causes in the past decade.

The Knights support our parish with its needs; support programs that benefit people with intellectual disabilities. We save lives through initiatives such as the “Ultrasound Program”. This is a unique “band of brothers” who accomplishes things together that could not be accomplished alone.

Express your faith through activities of charity, unity, and fraternity. Protect the financial future of your family through the Knights’ exclusive, top-rated life and disability insurance programs. Join the Knights today. For more information, Contact Patrick McMahon at 520-990-6418.
