About
What does it mean to be a part of the
Knights of Columbus Council 10195?
The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic organization that provides services to church, country and fellow citizens. Through our four core principles of charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism, we strive to provide tp the needs of St. Cecilia's Parish, the Wilbraham Community and beyond.
​
Regular meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month with a social hour in the Parish Center starting at 6:00 PM, (Knights are invited to pray the rosary in the Church at 6:00). Dinner is served at 6:30 PM, followed by the meeting at 7:00 PM.
​
If you are interested, men of the Parish ages 18 and older are invited to join us for the social hour and dinner to enjoy some food and fellowship, and learn more about the good works of our particularly active and friendly council of the Knights. We hope to see you there!

-Charity-
Our Catholic faith teaches us to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Members of our Knights of Columbus council show love for their neighbors in many ways.
​
-Conducting food drives during Easter and Thanksgiving
- Holding coat and toy drives during the Christmas season
- Setting up KofC Scholarships for the local high school seniors
- Holding benefits dinner for the Community Survival Center in Indian Orchard
- Raising money to help out with national and international diester relief
-Unity-
Members of the Knights of Columbus all know that – together – we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. So we stick together and support one another. That doesn’t mean that we always agree or that there is never a difference of opinion. It does mean that, as a Knight of Columbus, you can count on the support and encouragement of your brother Knights as you work to make life better at St. Cecilia's Parish and the Wilbraham community.
-Fraternity-
Blessed Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to provide assistance to the widows and children left behind when the father died, often prematurely. The Order’s
top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do the good works of individual Knights.
-Patriotism-
Members of the Knights of Columbus, be they Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Cubans, Filipinos, Poles, or Dominicans, are patriotic citizens. We are proud of our devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both. Whether it’s in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens.
