Knights of Columbus Council #2506 - Est. 1923. Serving the Waconia, Victoria, & Cologne communities.

Our Knights of Columbus - Council #2506 was chartered on December 2, 1923. We have a long history of serving our families and community in Waconia, Victoria, Cologne, and the surrounding areas. Thanks to the men of faith back then for having the vision to come together with the mission of charity, fraternity, unity, and patriotism. We are honored to continue to serve in the tradition established by these men nearly a century ago in the name of Jesus Christ. Among the parish initiatives supported by the Knights are the Respect Life Breakfast, Lent Fish Fry, Thanksgiving Turkey and Fixings, Gifts for Troops, Tootsie Roll Drive, Summer Fun Fest, Free Throw Contest, and Keep Christ In Christmas Poster Contest. The beneficiaries of the Knight’s volunteer work and fundraising include the Auburn West Nursing Home, Good Samaritan Nursing Home, Enkrateia: House of Hope, Southwest Options for Women, Love INC, St Joseph Catholic Community and St Joseph Catholic School, Special Olympics, Memorial Blood Center, and Waconia Food Shelf. The Council #2506 general membership meetings are held the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm. Our Council meetings are held at the Parish Center in the lower level of St. Joseph Church except for the summer months (May – Sept) where we hold the Council meetings at Klein Drive Park (KC Park).

Congratulations to our new 3rd degree Knights: Nate & Noah T, Fred & Porter B, and Roger S, who were honored during this special ceremony. The Waconia Knights of Columbus Exemplification highlighted the history and principles of the order, reflecting the original Unity, Charity, and Fraternity ceremonies first approved by Father McGivney.

People are ready for the fullness of the faith. It is in the depth of beauty, wonder, and experience that we come to know and love the Lord.

Today we celebrate St. Valentine, not just candy hearts and roses, but courageous, sacrificial love. ❤️

According to tradition, Valentine was a priest who continued to witness and bless Christian marriages at a time when it was forbidden. He believed love was worth defending. He believed marriage was worth protecting, and he ultimately gave his life for that conviction.

Real love isn’t just a feeling. It’s a choice. It’s faithful. It’s brave.

On this Valentine’s Day, let’s thank God for the gift of love, in marriage, in friendship, in family life, and ask for the grace to love with strength and self-gift, not just sentiment.

St. Valentine, pray for us.
