Welcome
to the Internet home of the Cardinal Gibbons Council
Knights of Columbus of Baltimore, Maryland.
On January 28, 1924, at St. Michaels
Church in Overlea, Maryland, the elections of the
council first officers was held. The following
February 8, 1924, the officers were installed and a
First Degree was conferred on a class of thirty-four
candidates. In
attendance were over 100 men.
Our first Grand Knight was Nicholas J. Herbert,
Sr. Since that time we have had 76 Grand Knights and
the Council home has been moved twice and now at its
permanent location on Klosterman Avenue in Perry Hall,
Maryland. The Cardinal Gibbons Knights of Columbus has
a proud history of events, many of which have been
around for years. For example, the Knights of Columbus
conducts a "Fallen Heroes" night to
honor our firemen and policemen who have given their
lives in the line of duty, each year we provide
scholarships to deserving youth in the furtherance of
their education as well as support many charitable
organizations including the Pregnancy Center,
Franciscan Center, and Our Daily Bread. We have
many social events including Italian Night, Polish
Night, Crab Feast, and Bingo every Monday night among
others. Cardinal Gibbons Council also has many Youth
programs and activities.
