Fairfax Council was founded in 1958, and then renamed Pope John Paul II Council on June 23, 2005. The Council works closely with the
local Parishes of St. Phillip, Queen of Apostles, and Epiphany of Our Lord, located in and around Annandale Virginia, by providing funds
and volunteers for various projects and charities.
The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic family fraternal service organization with 1.7 million members. It provides members
and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young people.
As a member of the Knights of Columbus you and your family enjoy many benefits, including 12 free issues annually of the Columbia
magazine, the world's largest Catholic family magazine, eligibility to join the Knights of Columbus top-ranked life insurance program,
and many more family and personal benefits.
Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to practicing Catholic men in union with the Holy See, who are at least 18 years old. A
practicing Catholic is one who lives up to the Commandments of God and the precepts of the Church. Application blanks are available from
any member of the Knights of Columbus. Click on "Contact Us" in the masthead at the top of this Council Home Page for
information on contacting one of the Officers who will provide you with a Membership Request Form.
 
Any 3rd Degree member in good standing, one year after the anniversary of his 1st Degree, is eligible for membership
in the 4th Degree. The primary purpose of the 4th Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism by promoting
responsible citizenship and a love of and
loyalty to the Knights' respective countries through active membership in local 4th Degree groups (called "assemblies").
Certain members of the 4th Degree serve as honor guards at civic and religious functions, an activity that has brought
worldwide recognition to the Knights of Columbus.
The Ladies Auxiliary's main function is to SUPPORT the men and the council. They do this primarily by providing help at events, cooking for
events and providing monetary help. They generally help with setting up and beautifying the Council Home and other sites where special
events are held. Pope John Paul II Council 4522's Ladies Auxiliary is named the "Casey Women's Club".
