The Catholic Order of Foresters
Catholic families. We began as a men's group of immigrants that met in Holy Family Catholic Church's basement
family. The Holy Family has become our patron saint as a company.
Those burial collections gradually formed the association that today we know as the Catholic Order of Foresters. We
have over 140,000 members in the United States. We have 300 agents in 31 states which we actively write life and
annuity business in. We have some of the most competitive products in the fraternal insurance industry. We even have
an agent in our court in Hankinson.
The Fraternal side of the Catholic Order of Foresters.
COF operates on a court system, with a court for both adults and have
over 200 members in St. Joseph's Court No. 1470. This has placed us
2004, we celebrated 100 years of fraternalism at St.
COF members are also known to have a strong fraternal 1470
purchased the large stained glass window on the east side with the
Holy Family. When in 1994 the windows needed to be re-leaded again,
the Forester members along with the parish paid for the repairs.
One of our pet projects over the years has been Calvary
management of the cemetery.
The COF room islocated in the southeast corner of the basement.
When complete, this room will serve as a meeting room not only for
COF, but the parish as well.
COF also has drawings every spring for youth in Catholic schools and in CCD programs.
COF maintains a strong financial base in these trying economic times. Please contact any member if you want to know more about the
