Knights of Columbus St. Elizabeth Council #8747 Knights of Columbus St. Elizabeth Council #8747

 

St. Elizabeth Church

On behalf of the Grand Knight, Deputy Grand Knight, Financial Secretary, and other officers of St. Elizabeth Council 8747, we want to take this opportunity for taking what we feel will be one of the most important and adventurous steps of your life, becoming a member of the Knights of Columbus. Welcome to our Council!

This web site will assist you the new member in coming to an understanding of who we are, what we do, and more importantly how you can become an active and viable member of the largest Catholic Men's Organization in the world, the Knights of Columbus. When you took your First Degree, you were given the lessons and the requirements of what it would take to advance to full Knighthood in the Knights of Columbus.

We are proud to provided a copy of Surge with Service in PDF format. Surge with Service is a publication from Supreme that contains a wealth of information about Council activities, structures, and chairmanships. This booklet is sent to all newly Grand Knights upon their taking of office at the beginning of the Columbian Year. We would encourage you to take the opportunity to become familiar with its contents.

St. Elizabeth Council 8747 was created in the mid 1980’s when the founding Council, Milpitas Council 5796 elected to divide itself up. The members who attended St. John’s Church would become the new Milpitas Council 5796 and St. Elizabeth Council 8747 would be made up of members who attended St. Elizabeth Parish. Since its creation, St. Elizabeth Council has continued to grow and flourish.
