Our local Knights of Columbus Council is council number 6371. Our group was started in 1972 by 62 conscientious parishioners who wanted to do more to live out their faith. We serve the St. John the Baptist Parish in Waunakee, and St. Mary of the Lake Parish in Westport. Our name, Fathers Nellen Council, honors two priests who were brothers that were instrumental in founding our council. You can contact us by email at  rraemisch@tds.net.

For more information about our council, please see our Council History.

Practicing Catholic men over 18 who would like to be part of a great organization are welcome to join our council. We meet monthly in our council chambers in the lower level of St. John the Baptist Parish, 209 South Street, on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm.
