ABOUT OUR COUNCIL
It is named after Pope John XXIII. Pope John XXIII Council works closely with the Parish of St. Francis of Assisi in Burien, WA, providing funds for various projects and support to many parish functions and activities. The Knights of Columbus is an international organization of Catholic men founded on the principles of 'Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism'. At the present time there are over 1.7 million members, 12,000 in Washington State. Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to any practical Catholic man over the age of 18 in union with the Holy See. The purpose, as stated in October, 1882 by the founder, Father Michael J. McGivney, was to help Catholic men remain steadfast in their faith through mutual encouragement, to promote closer ties of fraternity among them; and to set up an elementary system of insurance so that the widows and children of members in the group who might die would not find themselves in dire financial straits.
Pope John XXIII Council 5495 (the Burien Council) serves the St Francis parish. Meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month at the St. Francis Parish Hall. They are not open to non-members unless it is an open meeting. Currently, there are 105 members.
