The History of St. John's Council

St. John's Council was chartered in 1908 and celebrated its hundredth anniversary in 2008. From humble beginnings with the thirty men who signed our charter, today we are 600 strong.

Having a long history doesn't mean that we can rest on our laurels. St. John's Council is one of the busiest Councils in the State of New Jersey. We strive to go the extra mile when our faith calls upon us and when our community needs us.

From fundraisers for local groups, families and charities to feeding the homeless, St. John's Council #1345 has risen to the call to fullfill our obligations as Knights.

If you have the time, we invite you to watch a short video, produced as we celebrated our centennial year. You can also click on the image at the right to view our Centennial Journal, published as we ticked over the century mark in 2008.
