About Us

St. Joseph of Arimathea Council

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men’s fraternal organization formed to render financial aid to those in need. Our Council supports Emmaus Catholic Parish and the greater diocesan community through its educational, charitable, religious, and other public service works, promoting social and intellectual fellowship among members and their families. Please check the parish calendar for Council socials and other events where interested men are invited to attend and learn more on how to join

Regular meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month in the Pastoral Center, beginning with a family rosary at 7 PM. Please check the Emmaus calendar for scheduled meetings

The Knights have a dedicated Adoration hour, every Tuesday 6:00 - 7:00 PM. To be the designated adorer, please sign-up on this link:
