K of C Council 5268 The Grand Knights

A message from our current Grand Knight
Rick Deslauriers
We are Catholic men building a bridge back to faith. There is much work to be done in this world. Good work. Necessary work. And that’s what the Knights do. Every day.

Assisting the sick and disabled. Protecting those who can’t protect themselves. Whether they are next door or halfway around the world. This is the journey we are on. Our path.

We do it to be better husbands, fathers, sons, neighbors, and Catholics. We invest our time, our effort, and our resources into our values: Charity. Unity. Fraternity. Patriotism.

We come from many places. And backgrounds. And stages in our lives. But we are all of one faith. A fraternity of men striving to better ourselves and our world.

It’s one this to say who you are. It’s another to live it. To put your values into action. That’s what we do at the Knights of Columbus.

That’s who we are.
