Council 8901 was founded in 1985. The members of Council 8901 work closely with the St. Pius X Elementary School and Parish, providing funds for various projects. Our activities are detailed on the Activities Page. We have members who have been with us from the beginning. We also have many new members, with active recruiting among the young men.

2007 is also the 125th Anniversary Year of the founding of the Knights of Columbus by Father Michael J. McGivney, a priest at St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Connecticut. Today, we are over 1.7 million members strong. More information is found on the State and National links below.
