Council Activities



OUR COUNCIL IS VERY ACTIVE, AND OUR ACTIVITIES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING -- AND MUCH MORE (PLEASE JOIN US!):

General Membership Meetings -- General council meetings are held once a month, on the 1st Wednesday of each month, at 8:00 pm in our Council Hall -- all members are welcome. The Council Hall is located on North Avenue in Westfield (right near the border with Scotch Plains) between the American Legion Hall and Charlie Brown's Steak House.

Columbian Club -- The entrance to the Columbian Club is in the back of the Council Hall.  Ample parking, and ample servings.

The Columbian Club hosts a full-service bar which is opened 7 days a week -- four televisions, dart boards, free pool table, and schuffleboard table available.

Also, a dart league has been formed.  Call for details.

Further, there is no better place to catch sporting events, such as College Football, Professional Football, and other sporting events on Saturdays and Sundays.

Pro-Life Causes -- The Knights of Columbus is very supportive of various Pro-Life causes, including the annual "BIKE FOR LIFE".

Fundraisers for the Developmentally Disabled -- These fundraisers are held periodically to support programs for the developmentally disabled.

Annual Christmas Present Drive -- This annual present drive benefits underprivliged children of Union County, New Jersey.

Westfield Food Pantry -- The members of the Westfield Knights of Columbus collect food and other necessities to support the Westfield Food Pantry which, in turn, supports those most in need in our local communities.

Annual Baseball Tournament -- The Westfield Knights of Columbus organizes and runs an annual baseball tournament during Memorial Day weekend, hosting baseball teams throughout New Jersey.

Blood Drives -- Our members host periodic blood drives in our Council Hall.

Holiday Parties -- In addition to the Children's Christmas Party for the children of our families hosted by the Westfield Council, the Columbian Club sponsors parties (many with live bands) for Saint Patrick's Day, Marti Gras, Christmas, other holidays and the Superbowl.

"Keep Christ in Christmas" Campaign-- The Knights of Columbus is intrumental in the effort to Keep Christ in Christmas, and to avoid the total secularization and dilution of the Christmas season.

Visits to Patients in Runnells Hospital -- Our Council visits and comforts the patients in Runnells Specialized Hospital in Berkley Heights on one Sunday each month.  Call for details.
