From our formation on May 3, 1970, Cranford Knights have been a key ally of St. Michael Church https://stmichaelcranford.org/ . 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 http://smscranford.com/ 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.
