The Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men's fraternal benefit society that was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutual aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works.

The history of the Order shows how the foresight of Father Michael J. McGivney, whose cause for sainthood is being investigated by the Vatican, brought about what has become the world's foremost Catholic fraternal benefit society. The Order has helped families obtain economic security and stability through its life insurance, annuity and long-term care programs, and has contributed time and energy worldwide to service in communities.

The Knights of Columbus has grown from several members in one council to more than 12,000 councils and 1.7 million members throughout the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Panama, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Poland, Guatemala, Guam and Saipan.

About our council 

The St. Bernadette council was started in 2002 under the leadership of Joseph Ferraro, Past Grand Knight.  In the years that followed, the council has expanded greatly and now has over 200 members,  A Columbiette council and a 4th Degree Assembly.

With over 400 people serving our church and local charities from this council, it is no wonder the Knights of Columbus is gaining more recognition and popularity here in Port St. Lucie and all over the world.
