Are you a Catholic man looking for a sense of belonging, a way to deepen your faith, and a chance to give back to your local community? Look no further! Council 551 of the Guildford and District Knights of St. Columba welcomes you with open arms.
Supporting Our Faith: As Knights, we are committed to providing unwavering support to our local Catholic church, helping it thrive and continue its vital work.
Fundraising with Purpose: Our fundraising efforts are not just about collecting donations; they are about making a real impact. Join us in organising fundraisers that benefit our church, our community, and those in need.
Engaging Public Talks: Our public talks programme offers opportunities to engage in meaningful discussions about our faith, spirituality, and the challenges facing our world today.
Growing Together: Many of our members have found that their journey with the Knights of St. Columba has led them to become better Catholics. It's not just about giving – it's about personal growth, spiritual development, and forming lifelong bonds with like-minded men. Together, we've discovered a profound sense of purpose and belonging.
We work with all Catholic churches in the Guildford, Woking, West Byfleet, and Godalming areas as well as the Benedictine monastery of St Augustine's Abbey, Chilworth.
We meet at 8pm on the third Monday of every month in the hall of St Pius X Catholic Church, 10 Laustan Close, Merrow, Guildford GU1 2TS
