Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have the time to join?
Yes. You can be as active as your time allows. Many members participate in less than 5 events or charitable drives a year. No one will judge your dedication by how often you help, only by
the effort you make while helping.
What are the requirements?
Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to men 18 years of age or older who are
practical (that is, practicing) Catholics in union with the Holy See.
I don’t attend Mass every week. Is that a problem?
No member of the Knights will ask you about your church attendance. We hope that you grow stronger in your faith by being a Knight but recognize that work and life often interrupts our best intentions to practice our faith.
What is a Sponsor and do I have to have a Sponsor?
A sponsor is a member of the council that proposes your membership to the Council. You do not have to have one. In the event you do not, an officer will speak with you and act as your proposer.
What does it cost to Join?
Membership is inexpensive at approximately $50/Year.

I don’t have time to join another organization; why should I join the Knights of Columbus?
Do I have to purchase Insurance to become a member?
No; unlike many fraternal organizations one does not become a member by purchasing insurance. In the Knights of Columbus a man has to be a member before he may avail himself of the insurance benefit. Purchasing insurance is optional, however; the life insurance and long-term care insurance products offered by the Order are not only competitively priced, they are among the most solid and highly rated products available anywhere. Standard & Poor’s and A.M. Best, the leading independent agencies that rate insurance companies, give K of C insurance their highest ratings.
