Knights of Columbus - Ascension and St. Edmund Parish
As one of the thousands of councils across the globe, the Ascension Knights in Oak Park, IL show dedication to our Ascension and St. Edmund Parish community, our fellow brothers, and those in need through our four main principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. Our mission is simple, to help others, to grow deeper in our faith, to have fun, and of course do as much good as possible. We are a welcoming Council that is open to Catholic men from all walks of life.
If you have any questions, or would like to learn more about the Ascension Knights, please contact us anytime at – We have plenty of opportunities for non-members to join in our activities to get a feel for what it’s like to be a Knight.

Resource Document for Caregivers Available from Knights of Columbus
Our local council of the Knights of Columbus has completed its resource document for those caring for ailing or elderly loved ones. The document includes information on individual caregivers as well as agencies and offers insights from those who have provided or arranged for care for an elderly or ailing loved one.
The Ascension Council of the Knights of Columbus invites anyone who would like to receive the document, or offer additional insights to it, to send an email to [email protected]. We hope to collect additional names of caregivers or agencies used and recommendations by fellow parishioners so that we can regularly update the document. Please help us do so. And thank you to those who have already provided input!
