Why Join the Knights of Columbus?

The Ocean City Knight of Columbus Council #9053 has proudly served the Catholic parishes, community and families of the Ocean City and neighboring Delaware areas for nearly 40 years. We are always willing to pitch in and give back whenever the need arises.  Whether it’s raising funds for the clients of the Worcester County Developmental Center, providing winter coats for the needy, contributing to the food pantries of St. Vincent de Paul and Diakonia or supporting the youth of our community through Ocean City Parks and Recreation Center, the Knights are there!! We are bound together by our shared faith and values to make our community better through sharing what we have with our less fortunate brothers.

Guided by the four principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism on which our founder, Father Michael J. McGivney established the Knight of Columbus, Knights are Catholic men dedicated to the Catholic Church and committed to serving the Church and community.
