History
"The Columbian Squires is an organization of more than 20,000 young men who have fun and share their Catholic faith, help people in need, and enjoy the company of friends in social, family, athletic, cultural, civic and spiritual activities. There are more than 1,300 "circles" located throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, the Caribbean, and other places where Knights of Columbus councils are located. Every circle is sponsored by a Knights of Columbus council, and Knights serve as adult counselors to the group.

A Squires circle is designed to be run both by and for young men. Through their local circle, Squires work and socialize as a group of friends, gradually developing into Catholic leaders. Squires graduating from the program at age 18 are eligible for college and vocations scholarships offered by the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council office. They are urged to join the Knights to continue their commitment to Columbanism. "

In early 1976, Massillon Council 554 formed Columbian Squires Circle 2645. The circle became inactive after a few years, but was reactivated in 2001 and is going strong today. The Massillon Squires Circle assists Council 554 members with various fundraising and social programs. They meet on the first and third Wednesday of every month, at the Knights of Columbus hall.
