Digital Membership Application

The St. Joseph Council has a Digital Membership Application ("interactive PDF") that can be used to apply for membership in our council.   It is an alternative  to the 3-copy paper Knights of Columbus Admission Document membership application ("Form 100") used by most councils.

Completing our Digital Membership Application and submission via E-mail is preferred to a paper application. 
Advantages:
  1. Almost everyone today uses a digital device - a computer, tablet or smart phone and regularly enters data digitally; 
    (If you are viewing this web page, it means YOU can work with a digital form!)
  2. Entering your data (typing) into a digital form is easier and faster than using pen & ink;
  3. Digital data results in more legible entries and accuracy;
  4. Submission of the completed application via E-mail is less costly and more efficient;
  5. The council can add its data to your application.

You should be able to complete the Digital Membership Application using your web browser.   However, different web browsers behave differently when they access or download a PDF attachment.   If you are unable to enter data into the form using your device, print it and complete it!

  • Our Digital Membership Application is optimized for use with Adobe Reader software which is installed on most computers. 
  • If you do not have Adobe Reader or Adobe Reader DC software, it is available free from Adobe.
