Welcome From Bill Morris, Grand Knight
Welcome to the St Ann Knights of Columbus Council 10245 website! As you explore
our site you will see the many ways we actively support St Ann Parish as we have
since our Council’s founding in 1989.
Who We Are
We are the Knights of Columbus. Believing that a man is defined by his actions as a
follower of God, and as a leader in his community. Believing that a man is more than
simply a man, when he bears the title of “Knight.”


The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic family fraternal service organization
with 1.7 million members. It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in
service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young people.
Membership Benefits
As a member of the Knights of Columbus you and your family enjoy many benefits, including 12
free issues annually of 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.
We are St Ann Council 10245 of the Knights of Columbus, with over 300 members from St Ann
Catholic Parish supporting other ministries, assisting the needy, fighting for Pro-Life issues,
raising money for scholarships, carnival, picnic or prayer.
How to Join
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

Fourth Degree
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.
