Knights of Columbus Council 1878 serves the Mishawaka parishes of St. Bavo, St. Joseph, and St. Monica. We assist the pastors with maintenance and other labor, participate in the charitable work of the parishes, and join in the Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and other prayers throughout the liturgical year.

St. Bavo Parish

St. Bavo Parish is served by the Band of Brothers group, which includes many members of our council.

St. Joseph Parish

St. Joseph Parish is the oldest Catholic parish in Mishawaka. Our council provides a roundtable of members who support the parish in all its needs. Contact Gary Shingledecker for email updates on roundtable activities.

St. Monica Parish

St. Monica Parish was founded in 1915. Our council provides a roundtable of members who, in cooperation with Sons of St. Monica, support the parish in all its needs.

"For more than 130 years, the Knights of Columbus Insurance program has carried on the vision of its founder, [Blessed] Father Michael J. McGivney by protecting hundreds of thousands of Catholic Families. Today we have more than $100 billion of life insurance in force, and nearly 1,400 full-time brother agents.... We invest ethically, and give generously."

  KofC Faith in Action Programs

“The Knights of Columbus offers men a place to lead their families and communities in faith and service and put their Faith into Action. Knights of Columbus members, parishes and families have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference through 32 Supreme Council-recommended programs.”

FAITH

“Faith: Our goal is to strengthen our men and their families in the faith. When we entered the Order, we were reminded to constantly inform ourselves in the Catholic faith. This formation goes beyond mere facts or religious practice to an authentic connection with a loving God and his son Jesus Christ.”

COMMUNITY

“Community: As Knights of Columbus, we are called to serve our family and our God. Our first principle is Charity, at home with our families or in our communities. This is a critical part of our Knights of Columbus mission.”

FAMILY

“Family: Father Michael J. McGivney sought to strengthen the familial bond of father to mother and children to parents. Our family programs are an evolution and response to a society that seeks to weaken the bonds of family. We must make it clear that society should value a family that is faithful to God and each other”

LIFE

“Life: The urgency of the threat to a culture of life cannot be misunderstood. Respect for the dignity of life demands a commitment to human rights across a broad spectrum. Both as Knights of Columbus and as followers of Christ, ‘Catholics must be committed to the defense of life in all its stages and in every condition’ (Saint John Paul II, 1995).”
