From our formation on May 3, 1970, Cranford
Knights have been a key ally of St. Michael Church

.
Brother Knights lend a hand at major parish functions including the Feast of
St. Michael and are active in numerous parish ministries, serving as
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist and lectors. The Knights have close
ties to
St. Michael's School

with children of members attending. We
continue to work closely with parents and teachers. College scholarships,
including the Monsignor Fimiani and Christine Bagniewski Memorials, are
awarded each June.
Throughout the year, we host family social
activities and dinners that strengthen friendships. Breakfast with Santa,
St. Patrick's Dinner Dance, the annual Golf Outing, and the Parish Picnic
are a few of our activities.
JOIN THE KNIGHTS
In short, the Cranford Knights do more than
just volunteer their time and services for the good of the parish and
community. We offer members and their families the chance to be part of a
larger community that shares the same Catholic beliefs, values, and
aspirations. Joining the Knights will not only help you deepen your faith
while serving others, you will also have access to family fraternal
benefits. The Knights of Columbus has 15,342 councils and 1.9 million
members throughout the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, and
Poland, among other nations; each dedicated to Charity, Unity, Fraternity
and Patriotism.
