Welcome to the Father C.C. Boyle Council Web Site
The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic fraternal service organization. Founded by the Venerable Father Michael J McGivney in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1882, it was named in honor of the mariner Christopher Columbus. Originally serving as a mutual benefit society to low-income immigrant Catholics, it developed into a fraternal benefit society dedicated to providing charitable services, promoting Catholic education and actively defending Catholicism in various nations.
There are more than 1.85 million members in nearly 15,000 councils, with nearly 200 councils on college campuses. Membership is limited to practicing Catholic men aged 18 or older. Membership consists of four different degrees, each exemplifying a different principle of the Order.
Our Council of over 300 members, meets in O'Connell Hall at Saint George Parish, located at 6707 W 175th street in Tinley Park, Illinois. Our meetings are held on the first and third Thursdays of the month at 8:00 p.m. The Grand Knight for Father C.C. Boyle Council 4698, for year 2019-2020 is John Concannon. He can be contacted at jfcjmc23@aol.com.
We hope you enjoy your visit to our web site. A library of information regarding our council and the Knights of Columbus in general is available by using the above links. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

 Peter's the one with the hat
Its Comedy Night!
Join us for a fun filled evening of laughter with our headliner, ventriloquist Peter Hefty. "Where does comedian ventriloquist Peter Hefty begin and his scene-stealing dummy Justin end? The fact that it’s so hard to tell is part of the magic of Hefty’s act, a combination of masterful ventriloquism and hilarious stand-up featuring several different dummies, each with their own personality (including outspoken party dude Frank). For years, Peter Hefty has been bringing his hilarious act to some of the top comedy clubs and casinos throughout the country. Now Hefty’s coming to St. George — and bringing a few of his wooden friends with him".
