About Us
The St. Rose Council #6386 was founded in 1974 by our Charter Members as the men's Catholic Organization of St. Rose of Lima Parish. Those men believed in the basic tenets of the Knights of Columbus: Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism.
These four principles signify the Degrees of Knighthood in the Order. Learn more about our Council and our Order below.

Columbianism originally came to St. Rose of Lima parish back, in 1925 when Millburn Council #2575 was chartered. It flourished under the guidance of Chaplain and Pastor Rev. James T. Brown, but the depression took its’ toll and when the Council was unable to pay its’ insurance premiums the Charter was revoked. The Holy Name Society supplanted it and was a dominant organization for the spiritual and social aspects of parish life for the next thirty plus years.
Bishop John J. Dougherty, after decades as scriptural scholar and teacher at ’Immaculate Conception Seminary and Seton Hall College, was assigned as Pastor of St. Rose’s. The Bishop, a Fourth Degree Knight himself and N.J. State Chaplain, spoke from the pulpit of the benefits of having a KofC. council in the parish. He spoke to those interested in forming a council here. It took a few meetings but a nucleus was formed and a charter was issued in May of 1972. Our first Grand Knight was John Gilsenan.
