Welcome!
Mission Statement: St. Maximilian Kolbe Knights of Columbus Council #11319 is a family and fraternal organization of Catholic men.
We are a community of believers in Jesus Christ, bound in service to one another, linked by the common bond of
Baptism, sharing the priesthood of the Lord and enjoying the manifold gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism are the foundation stones of Columbianism. In solidarity with St.
Maximilian Kolbe Parish priests, the Knights of Columbus work diligently and conscientiously to defend, preserve
and promote quality of life by organizing programs that involve family, community, liturgy and Christian values.
Council 11319 of the Knights of Columbus serves the Saint Maximilian
Kolbe Parish and its pastor. Our parish is named for "The Saint of
Auschwitz", the Polish priest who died so that another man might live.
Saint Maximilian Kolbe was canonized a saint on October 10, 1982 by
Pope John Paul II.
Our Council was founded in the Spring of 1994 by thirty-five men from
our Parish when it was only eight years old, and our founding Grand
Knight was Stephen Byrne. We have experienced enormous
growth, and our Council membership is approximately 100 men.
We hold our meeting on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m.
in the ground-floor room (entrance on the right/south side) of the
Rectory at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church at 15 East Pleasant Grove
Road, West Chester. Contact us
and then come along.
