Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to men 18 years of age or older who are practical (that is, practicing) Catholics in union with the Holy See. This means that an applicant or member accepts the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live in accord with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in good standing in the Catholic Church. (please see the link upper right of page). 

Annual dues are $40 payable each January. There is a on-time initiation fee of $15, and each member is required to purchase a red event shirt ($25) and a name badge ($10).
