Knights of Columbus, Local Council 872 Membership Page

Clarksburg Council #872 Knights of Columbus regular meeting has been canceled on December the 26th. For more information please contact Membership Director Bob Angotti at 304-641-1425.

"Multiply Yourself"

Many of you are probably wondering what I mean by this. You are an honored member of the Knights of Columbus. The worlds largest Catholic lay organization. Membership stands at over 1.8 million members with over 14,000 Councils around the world. Without members there would be no Councils.
As Brother Knights we have different positions in the organization but there is one that we all are asked to do. Supreme Council asks that each member bring at least one new member a year. So I ask you if you know a Catholic gentleman that is in good standing with his church explain the Knights of Columbus to him and what we do and ask him to join you. Membership is vital to complete the mission Fr. Michael J. McGinvey started 128 years ago.
So I say "Multiply Yourself" and bring in a new Brother to our order. If I can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to contact me anytime. Thank you.

Vivat Jesus,
