The Saint Maurice Knights of Columbus is hosted by St. Maurice Catholic Church and has a proud history of helping others and supporting charitable organizations in the area through various fundraising activities and events. Some of the organizations we support include Manchester Area Conference of Churches, MARC Inc. of Manchester, Bolton Scholarship Fund, RSVP Program, financial support to vocations, and more. Our fundraising activities include monthly pancake breakfasts, fish dinners during Lent, Mother's Day flower sale, Tootsie Roll Drive, annual golf tournament and various seasonal dinners throughout the year.

As our membership continues to grow, we forge ahead with renewed commitment to our community and region, so that we may face the growing challenge of meeting the needs of those we serve. We are looking for the next generation of Knights to work together with men of exceptional character to preserve the traditional values of faith, family, and community.
Of the countless rewards membership offers, and perhaps the most inviting is this: the knowledge that, as a Knight, you can truly make a difference.
Come and see what we're all about.
