Welcome

A brotherhood in the Harbour City

Our Council is located in the beautiful "Harbour City" of Nanaimo, BC, on Vancouver Island, and is attached to St. Peter's Parish.

We meet on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 pm in St. Peter's Catholic Church hall. The Executive meets virtually via Zoom on the last Wednesday of the month. Visiting Brother Knights are always most welcome to join us at any of our regular meetings.

Presently our Grand Knight is Brother Randy Wilkes, who welcomes anyone interested in learning more about the Knights.

Our Foundation

Four principles guide everything we do

Founded by Blessed Michael J. McGivney, the Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic family fraternal service organization, with 2.2 million members.

Charity

Our first principle. We give of our time and treasure to those in need across parish and community.

Unity

Together we accomplish far more than any of us could alone — as a family of brothers.

Fraternity

We support one another and our families, in good times and in hardship, through life's journey.

Patriotism

Through our Fourth Degree we foster love of country and responsible citizenship.

In the Community

Faith in action, all year round
