Convention 2025 Ottawa - Columbian Squires 100 Years

The Columbian Squires is an international youth fraternity run by the Knights of Columbus for Catholic boys between the ages of 10 and 18.

Squires have fun and share their Catholic faith, help people in need, and enjoy the company of friends in social, family, athletic, cultural, civic and spiritual activities. Through their local circle, Squires work and socialize as a group of friends, elect their own officers, and develop into Catholic leaders.

With the support of their Knights of Columbus Counsellors, there is no goal out of a Squire’s reach. A new member of the Columbian Squires should expect to feel a sense of fraternity with the others as soon as he has been invested into the Order.

So, the Squires circle, is an athletic team, a youth group, a social club, a cultural and civic improvement association, a management training course, a civil rights organization and a spiritual development program all rolled into one. One of a kind - Faith based Leadership !

This Fraternal Year, the Columbian Squires will be celebrating their 100th year at Westin in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The Ontario Provincial Board, who gives support to all the circles in Ontario need to raise funds for this jubilee. All funds raise help with busing, hotel rooms, convention registration and meals.
