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 men 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 Council-specific information, contact John Mulholland at 520-360-7166. For Assembly-specific information, contact Leo Smith at 520-603-2059.

You must be a male, 18 years of age or older and a practicing Catholic.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
