Knights of Columbus (K of C)

In service to one. In service to all.

We are Catholic men building a bridge back to Faith. There is much good and necessary work to be done in this world and that is what Knights do every day.

The Knights of Columbus Charleswood Council 7523 is one of 15,000 Knights of Columbus councils throughout the world. Our council covers Charleswood, Elie, St. Eustache and St. Francois Xavier.
