“Together In Faith”
Welcome to the Massachusetts State Council Knights of Columbus website. Massachusetts is the second oldest jurisdiction of our Order, having been formed on April 24, 1893. We are proud to boast of our continuing efforts of practicing our Order’s principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. Throughout our 293 councils in the state, with the 36,000+ members and their families, we conduct numerous programs focusing on Faith, Family, Community and Life.
This website is updated regularly to provide you with upcoming events and both written and pictorial examples of how we in Massachusetts practice the above principles every day, demonstrating that we are indeed a Catholic, family-oriented, fraternal and service organization.

Worthy Sir Knights,
The following was sent to me to distribute to assemblies.
For Distribution to all Assemblies through their District Masters. At the meeting of the Supreme Board of Directors in July 2023, the Laws and Rules Governing the Fourth Degree of the Knights of Columbus were amended by increasing the exemplification fee from $70 to $90. There has not been an increase since 2006. By comparison, $70 in 2006 had a buying power of approximately $106 today. Due to inflation, the $70 exemplification fee now has a buying power of approximately $47. The increase is necessary to prevent District Masters from incurring a financial loss in conducting exemplifications.
With God’s Blessing, Vivat Jesus
