Who are the Columbiettes?
The Columbiettes are a unified body of Catholic women who work side-by-side with the Knights of Columbus Councils with which we are affiliated.  We enjoy the challenges and satisfaction of making a difference.  You can do more for your church, family and your community as a Columbiette.  Discover activities that involve the entire family, thereby building spirit from within.  Be a more effective Catholic by actively working toward goals of unity and understanding.  Set the example through works of charity, devotion and promotion of Catholic values.  Join others in programs that brighten the lives of the less fortunate – the sick, the handicapped, the elderly and the young.  Strengthen the community from within.  Have fun – make friends.  Join others in events that bear fruit. We provide members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young people.

How to join
Membership in the Columbiettes is open to young women ranging from the ages of 17 years and older who are practicing Catholics in union with the Holy See. A practicing Catholic is one who lives up to the Commandments of God and the precepts of the Church. If you, a friend, or a relative are interested in making new friends, helping the less fortunate and a willingness to promote a true sense of Christian values, then our organization is just what they want.  See any Columbiette member and just express an interest to join and give her your name and phone number.  A member of the membership committee will contact you.

2nd Degree 
Any First Degree member in good standing is eligible for membership in the Second Degree. The primary purpose of the Second Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism by promoting responsible citizenship and a love of and loyalty to the Columbiettes' respective countries through active membership.

Squirettes
At present the only Squirette organization in NC is located in Clemmons.  Membership in the Squirettes is for Catholic girls between the ages of 10 and 17.  The Squirettes are sponsored by the Columbiettes.  Squirettes' activities are many, varying from spiritual to active service for the Church and community. Each circle elects officer members from their own rank, teaching skills of leadership and responsibility.
