"KNIGHTHOOD - PASS IT ON"

Welcome to the Internet home of the Cardinal Gibbons Council Knights of Columbus of Baltimore, Maryland.  The election of the first council officers was held on January 28, 1924 at St. Michaels Church in Overlea, Maryland.  On February 8, 1924, the officers were installed and a First Degree was conferred on a class of thirty-four candidates with over 100 men in attendance.  Our first Grand Knight was Nicholas J. Herbert, Sr. and since that time we have had 76 Grand Knights.  The Council home is located on Klosterman Avenue in Perry Hall, Maryland.  Cardinal Gibbons has a proud history of annual events, many of which have become a tradition. Our annual "Fallen Heroes" Night honors local firemen and policemen who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.  Cardinal Gibbons Council also has many Youth programs and activities and each year we provide scholarships to deserving youth in the furtherance of their education. Our members volunteer and our Council supports the work of many charitable organizations that include the Pregnancy Center, the Franciscan Center, and Our Daily Bread.  And, we also take time to relax at our many social events that include Italian Night, Polish Night, a Crab Feast, and Bingo every Monday night just to name a few!   We look forward to seeing you soon!   UPCOMING EVENTS ALL Held at Columbus Gardens              4301 Klosterman Ave., 21236 June 24, 2009  7:30PM Council Awards Night - Open Meeting    June 27, 2009 8PM Annual Navigators Ball July 5, 2009     1PM Installation of Officers July 25, 2009     12PM Cardinal Gibbons Family Picnic 2009   August 2, 2009 1PM Crab Feast 2009  Click on an event for more details!
