The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest
Catholic family fraternal service organization with 1.6 million members.
It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in
service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young
people.
As a member of
the Knights of Columbus you and your family enjoy many benefits, including
12 free issues annually of the Columbia magazine, the world's
largest Catholic family magazine, eligibility to join the Knights of
Columbus top-ranked life insurance program, and many more family and
personal benefits.
Members of Council 112 work closely in support of the four parishes of Concord: St. John the Evangelist, St. Peter's, Immaculate Heart of Mary, and Sacred Heart - as well as a Carmelite Monastery on Pleasant Street. Members are active participants in their respective parishes as organists, cantors, lectors, ushers, teachers, and Eucharistic Ministers. They come from every profession throughout the capitol region, from every background, and from every age group. They are united in the common desire to more fully live their Catholic faith within their communities.
Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to practicing Catholic
men in union with the Holy See, who are at least 18 years old. A
practicing Catholic is one who lives up to the Commandments of God and the
precepts of the Church. Application blanks are available from any member
of the Knights of Columbus.
If you would like more information on joining the Knights, please contact us at (603) 228-8927 or at mailto:webmaster@kofc112.org.
Any Third Degree member in good
standing, one year after the anniversary of his First Degree, is eligible
for membership in the Fourth Degree. The primary purpose of the Fourth
Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism by promoting responsible
citizenship and a love of and loyalty to the Knights' respective countries
through active membership in local Fourth Degree groups (called
"assemblies"). Certain members of the Fourth Degree serve as honor guards
at civic and religious functions, an activity that has brought worldwide
recognition to the Knights of Columbus. The
Faithful Navigator for the Concord 4th Degree Assembly this year is SK
Glenn P Camley. To visit the Assembly 627 website, please click on the 4th
degree logo seen at right.
The Ladies Auxiliary's main function is to support the men
and the council. They do this primarily by providing help at events,
cooking for events and providing monetary help. They also generally do
help with setting up and beautifying the hall for events.
Council 112 is blessed with its own Ladies Program. For more details, please contact GK Thibeault's wife, Debbie at kdkmc@comcast.net
Under the guidance of Christian Brother Barnabas McDonald
(1865-1929), the first Columbian Squires circle was instituted in 1925.
Membership in the Squires is for Catholic boys between the ages of 12 and
17. Squires' activities are many, varying from spiritual to active service
for the Church and community. Each circle elects officer members from
their own rank, teaching skills of leadership and responsibility.
