About us

The DeKalb Knights of Columbus Council was founded in 1902. Our council adheres to the four basic precepts of the Knights of Columbus. These are: unity, fraternity, charity, and patriotism. Each of these are respectively represented by the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Degrees of the fraternal order.

The DeKalb Council is a Catholic Men's fraternal service organization of the Knights of Columbus, serving St. Mary Parish in DeKalb and St. Mary Parish in Sycamore along with both the DeKalb , Sycamore, and surrounding areas.

All Knights are welcome to attend

The regular Council business meetings are the first Wednesday of the month starting at 7 p.m.

We usually have dinner at 6:00 p.m. before the meeting
