Knights of Columbus
St. Vincent Pallotti
Council #14535
(3rd Degree Knights)The St. Vincent Pallotti Council of St. Leo's Church, with approximately 90 members, formed within our parish in 2008. It belongs to the largest Catholic fraternal organization in the world (over 2.1 million members), focusing on prayer and fraternity among members. Our Third Degree Knights share a sense of pride with all Knights in knowing that their Order is first in support of our Holy Father, our bishops and priests, and in serving our fellow mankind.
The Knights of Columbus gives its members the tools to fulfill our mission to perpetuate God’s work. We are especially conscious of those most in need, and in binding together to preserve values in the face of attacks against family and innocent human life.Annually through fundraisers, this Council:- Provides monetary support to at least three seminarians
- Makes substantial donations to the Coats for Kids campaign
- Supports adolescent care at Spring Grove State Hospital and Special Olympics, Maryland
- Contributes thousands of volunteer hours (including with our family members) in support of St. Leo’s Church and the parish community.

Knights of Columbus
4th Degree Knights
St. Joseph Assembly #3502Fourth Degree Knights are often referred to as "the visible arm of the Knights of Columbus." As such, you will see their Honor Guard in full regalia: a service baldric (belt) worn over the coat, silver sword, white gloves, colorful cape, and a plumed chapeau (hat). They process and stand in formation carrying the American and Italian flags, in the case of St. Leo's as an Italian American community. This order participates in many parish Masses and events, including escorting clergy and religious statues during street processions through Little Italy ( Good Friday for outdoor Stations of the Cross, Easter Sunday, Mother's Day, etc.), leading the summer Italian festival parade, and processing in/out of church during special Masses and other events at Saint Leo's.Our Fourth Degree order of Knights, St. Joseph Assembly #3502, was instituted in August 2014, and was granted a Charter by the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus in New Haven, Connecticut in September 2014. Membership consists of Sir Knights from the St. Vincent Pallotti Council and other local Councils.
Our goals are to promote and strengthen patriotism, Catholicism, service to Church and country, and to educate its members and the public in the teachings of the Holy Mother Church and the history of our nation.
