Upcomming Events

Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to practical Catholic men in union with the Holy See, who shall not be less than 18 years of age on their last birthday. A practical Catholic is one who lives up to the Commandments of God and the Precepts of the Church.

The first degree is the first step towards becoming a full member of the Knights of Columbus.  Our council will soon offer the First Degree at our Naperville location.  At this level you may participate, but are limited on the level you may participate in meetings. Full participation in meetings is not allowed until completion of the Third Degree.

At this point you can participate as a Knight in our events and fundraising, but full-benefits are not received until completion of the Third Degree.

The Second and Third Degrees are usually offered together and can be done on the same day with the First Degree.  The Second and Third Degrees are often combined with other chapters of the area and held regionally.  Because of this and the time required it is not as often available as often.  For this reason you may become a First Degree Knight which will soon be offered in Naperville.

Upon completion of the Third Degree you may fully participate in meetings of the council and all benefits including the insurance and financial benefits available through the Knights of Columbus.
