Welcome to Father Rosensteel Council. The Knights of Columbus is the largest fraternal, family oriented, service organization of Catholic gentlemen in the world, with over 1,500,000 members. From its founding as a small, local Connecticut organization in 1882, the Order, while continuing to consist of small Councils dedicated to local parish and family life, has also become a powerful international force for good in support of Church and State, so much so that our founder, Fr. Michael J. McGivney, is being considered for Canonization.

 The Order as a whole and our Council in particular have much to offer, so if you are a Catholic man you really should find out about our council and about the Knights. Maybe you'd like to learn how to join the Knights. A good way to start learning what we Knights do and what the Order is really all about is to read some of our Council and State News Letters available on line. You may be impressed by the number and variety of activities available to members.

 With over 1300 members, Fr. Rosensteel Council is one of the largest and most active Councils and a proud member of the Maryland State Council. We are also active participants in the Cardinal O'Boyle Assembly of the Fourth Degree and the McNamara Chapter of Grand Knights. Check out all that we are doing, and if you are in our area, drop in and see us at our Council Home. A map is provided. Our Clubhouse Corporation operates a Catering Service with beautiful ball rooms available for wedding receptions and other parties. 

We plan to be constantly adding to and improving these Web pages. Thanks to all the other on-line Councils, from whom we have plagiarized freely. Please return the compliment if you find anything here that you like. We'd certainly like to hear from you if you have any suggestions, comments or questions. Many of our Officers and members are on line, including "Webmaster" Dr. Celso S. Barrientos, PGK and Grand Knight Frank J. Marchone whose slogan appears above.
