Welcome to the Father C.C. Boyle Council 4698 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 350 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 7:30 p.m.
The Grand Knight for Father C.C. Boyle Council 4698, for year 2024-2025 is Bob Sajewski. He can be contacted at [email protected]

**THE SILVER ROSE PROGRAM
The Silver Rose Program demonstrates the unity between Knights of Columbusin Canada, the United States and Mexico, through a series of prayer services promoting the dignity of all human life and honoring Our Lady. Each year, from early March through mid-December, Silver Roses are stewarded by Knights of Columbus Councils along routes from Canada to Mexico. Every stop the Silver Rose makes throughout the pilgrimage is a Rosary-centered occasion for Knights, parishioners and community members to pray for respect for life, for the spiritual renewal of each nation, and for the advancement of the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe. We will have a Silver Rose Prayer Service followed by a reception celebrating Our Lady of Guadalupe and a culture of life in our world. We invite all parishioners to attend and pray with us on this special occasion. |
Join us in supporting our Grand Knight, Bob Sajewski.
