Today's woman has it all: career, family, faith, friends.  We face a world very different from our mothers and grandmothers.  That doesn't mean life is easy.

There's a sisterhood for great women, inspring other great women and developing leaders.  We are the Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary.

Our name might be misleading -- we're no sidekicks.  In Minnesota, the Ladies Auxiliary is the sister organization of the Knights of Columbus.  We are independent partners in the Columbian family.  In a successful marriage, men and women leverage each other's strengths and abilities.  Our organization is much the same.

Under the patronage of Mary, the Ladies Auxiliary conducts works of Christian charity.  Sometimes we collaborate with the Knights; other activities are our own.

Membership is open to all faithful women (you do not have to be married to a Knight).  We meet the third Thursday of September - November and January - May.  Meetings are preceded by a fine dinner, and feature a speaker or entertainment.

Initiatives include a vocations dinner, silent auction fundraiser for Southside Life Care Center, a Christmas party.  There are social, volunteer, athletic and spiritual opportunities as well.  However, there is no required level of participation.
