“The Knights of Columbus are the Strong Right Arm of the Church” - Pope St. John Paul II
Illinois Knights of Columbus College Councils are developing tomorrow’s parish leaders on Illinois college campuses. We aim to support young Catholic men to create strong faith driven fraternity and service which supports their parish, pastor, and brothers.
By developing top level Knights councils on college campuses, we create skillful and faith driven leaders who bring enthusiasm to their home Knights Councils upon graduation and transform their parishes for years to come.
