We are an organization of dedicated individuals—1.9 million members strong, and growing. An organization that, since 1882, has embodied the selflessness of man as it has helped overcome the problems of the world.  

Our Knights and their families stand shoulder to shoulder in support of one another. Through their charity and the examples of their lives, they stand in service to all as witnesses to the Good News of the Gospel.  

The Knights at St. Joseph the Worker #13359 are eager to get to know YOU.  Consider reaching out to our Council using the form below to get involved NOW and join us as a part of our countless events to serve and give back to our local and faith communities.  All meetings are just 1 hour long and available via ZOOM.

All the good works we do are informed by our four core principles:   

Charity – Members of the Knights of Columbus show love for their neighbors by conducting food drives, donating resources to charities, by volunteering at Special Olympics, and by supporting, both spiritually and materially, mothers who choose life for their babies. There is no better way to experience love and compassion than by helping those in need, a call we answer every day.   

Unity – None of us is as good as all of us. Members of the Knights of Columbus all know that – together – we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. So we stick together…we support one another.  As a Knight you can count on the support and encouragement of your brother Knights as you work to make life better in your parish and community.   

Fraternity –  The Knights last year gave more than 10 million hours of their time to assist sick and/or disabled members and their families. In the Knights of Columbus, we watch out for and take care of one another.   

Patriotism – Members of the Knights of Columbus, are proud of our devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both. Whether it’s in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens.



The Knights of St. Joseph the Worker have put on and support a number of events each year, including but not limited to:

Pancake Breakfast/Fish Fry - The Knights hold several pancake breakfast and fish fry events to support a number of organizations across the NW Metro and Twin Cities community

363 Day Sandwhich Making - The knights partner with the parish Youth to provide sandwhiches for the our homesless brothers and sisters of the greator twin cities

Campaign for People with Intellectual Disabilities - The Knights as part of the brotherhood of Knights throughout the country participate in the annual Tootsie Roll drive in April. This event is used to raise money for the mentally and physically handicapped youths and adults. 

SJTW Outdoor Mass - The Knights support the annual STJW Outdoor Mass by providing food and organizing activites while supporting the church in preparations for the event

Special Olympics - The Knights have participated in and helped fund several Special Olympics events

Steak Dinner - The Council has held an annual Steak Fry in Spring. This is a great opportunity to get together with fellow Knights and families to enjoy a good meal and great company and conversation.
