The KSC is a Family Organisation, dedicated to The Holy Family. It is firmly committed to the protection of human life, from conception to natural death, and to the preservation and defence of the family.  

From the Order's earliest days it has focused on the family unit; by supporting family life through the provision of fraternal benefits, communicating with our young people and social participation. Promotion of family values is an integral part of the Knight's activities, as can be seen by the many action programmes.

Not only do Knights work hard in achieving the Order's fundamental goals but the majority of Councils have a varied programme of social activities in which families and friends are involved.

The Knights of St Columba constantly participate in activities for the betterment of the community at large. Although the KSC has declined in numbers; its commitment to charitable causes remains undiminished. As the Order has matured in years, its benevolence has grown. Large sums of money and volunteer hours have been donated to numerous charitable causes each year.

Knights, their families and friends regularly help out at hospitals, hospices for the terminally ill, respite homes for the elderly and infirmed, refuges for the homeless and disadvantaged in society. The KSC have been at the forefront in the fight against Substance Abuse, by producing and distributing awareness literature to parents; for Justice and Peace, many early groups were drawn from KSC Councils; and for the various Right to Life groups.

The KSC have a wide variety of activities aimed at young people; including local and national competitions in football, netball, public speaking and a general knowledge quiz. There are Seminars for young people held each year and a Nativity Scene Christmas Card painting competition, open to all primary school children.

Knights are responsible for the erection of many of the Christmas Cribs; seen and admired throughout the country; as part of the KSC's Keep Christ in Christmas campaign. They also produce and distribute the Christmas, Easter and Pentecost posters, with which many Christians will be familiar.

The Knights also have their own chapel within the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, Liverpool. St Columba's Chapel dedicated to our Patron Saint has been sponsored by the Knights of Saint Columba since its opening in 1969. In addition to its everyday use, St Columba's Chapel houses the Knights of St Columba Memorial Book, recording the deaths of all former members of the Order    (view)
