For more than 140 years, the Knights of Columbus have brought men together, in true Christian charity, using their time, talent and treasure to support the work of the parish and the greater community. 

Established on April 17, 1983, St. Ann’s Knights of Columbus Council #8376 numbers nearly 300 men of all ages, some of whom have been in the group since its inception. Step on campus and chances are it will not take you long to encounter a Knight. From Lenten fish dinners and Christmas tree sales to blood drives and free-throw contests, members of the group are highly recognizable to parishioners.


Members strive to live out the mission of the Knights: to empower Catholic men to live their faith at home, in their parish, at work and in the community. The Knights are centered on the principles of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism. St. Ann’s council funds several causes, ranging from food and clothing for those with disabilities to ultrasound machines for the Pregnancy Aid Clinic. The council also finances annual youth scholarships. Members lend their time and talents to the USO welcome group at the Atlanta airport, the annual Memorial Day Mass at Marietta National Cemetery, Special Olympics and community blood drives.


Our council is very thankful for the many gifts the Lord has given us. We are grateful to be able to give back.
