Louisiana State Convention

The Louisiana State Convention brings members from all over the state to enjoy a fun, family-filled weekend held in the first weekend of May every year. Attend our Convention and support charitable programs, strengthen your Catholic faith and values, connect with other members and their families, and participate in the business meetings. The Louisiana State Knights of Columbus Convention offers opportunities to engage with the organization's core principles of Faith, Fraternity, and Charity, while fostering a sense of brotherhood among members.

During the convention, Brother Knights attend the business meeting to elect state officers and delegates to the Supreme Convention, vote on next year's budget, and consider resolutions from Councils and State Officers. Every Council should send representatives! Want the packet first? Download it here.
