The Columbiettes? Who are they?
The Columbiettes, an International Catholic Women’s Organization dedicated to our Patronesses and are comprised of affiliated Auxiliaries of the Knights of Columbus.
Our purpose is to: Promote the spiritual, social and charitable welfare of our members to instill a steadfast conviction relating to the proper place and function of Catholic women in safeguarding the religious, civil and economic rights of all Catholics to rely upon the intercession of Mary, our Mother and Model, for guidance in guarding the common good, and to work through her, on loving and aiding all members of the human family and to give assistance to the Knights of Columbus in all their activities upon request, while instituting our own charitable causes as well.
Membership Requirements: A Columbiette must be a practical Catholic woman, at least 18 years of age. A practical Catholic is one who is in union with the Holy See and who practices the precepts of the Catholic Church. Interested women are not required to be affiliated with a Knight for membership.
