Knights in the Spotlight

Every month, the council leadership would like to put the spotlight on new members or a Knight that exemplifies the ideals of the Knights of Columbus.

Our Foundation

The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 by blessed Father Michael McGivney in New Haven, CT.  Our council is based on the principles he identified of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. We are sponsored by the St. Francis of Assisi parish in Castle Rock, Colorado with the intentions to increase the faith of our members, their families, and the parish as a whole through prayer and service.

Our Founder

The founder of the Knights of Columbus, Father Michael J. McGivney was a central figure in the growth of Catholicism in America, and he remains a model today.

His example of charity, evangelization and empowerment of the laity continues to bear fruit and guide Knights of Columbus around the world.

Our Parish

Welcome to our parish dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi!  We have been working to make saints with Jesus in his Catholic Church since 1888,  We are happy to have you with us!

Becoming more and more like Jesus was the mission of Francis.

 It’s our mission, too!

Our Faith

Our goal is to help men, their families and their parishes grow closer to Christ. Through our programs and resources, we provide opportunities to live and spread the Catholic faith.
