Experience St. Anne's Council #8709
Here at St. Anne's Council #8709, we are driven by a single goal: to do our part in making the world a better place for all. Our Knights of Columbus believe in the core principles of the original Knights of 1882: Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. We work to be better Catholic men, fathers, and brothers. This means that we work together, pray together and eat together in the community of the Knights. The Knights provide fellowship, purpose and financial protection to Brother Knights.

A Bit About Our Council
Founded in 1984, St. Anne’s Council #8709 serves St. Anne’s Parish and the entire Lodi community. We are proud to wear yellow name badges to show our membership in the Knights of Columbus. Our 140+ members range in ages from their 20s to their 90s and come from all walks of life. However, they do all share in their desire to uphold the Order’s four main principles. Our membership includes our parish priests and deacons. Our members serve on a variety of church committees and fellowship teams, serving where they can, including at St. Anne’s school. Our 4th degree Knights are part of the O’Connor Assembly.
