The Greater Dallas Association is basically the Diocesan Chapter of the Knights of Columbus composed of delegates from each council in the Diocese.

It's primary purpose is to organize and implement Diocesan-wide Knights of Columbus events, such as the Hike For Life, Bishops' Pickup, Special Olympics events, Free Throw Contests, the Dallas Classic, Major Degrees, Diocesan-wide charity drives, etc.

Each council may be represented by up to two voting delegates, although all Knights in good standing may attend the meetings.  It is responsibility of the attending members to report to their respective councils any information provided at the meeting so that each council will be aware of what Diocesan activities are planned and be able to participate and assist in their success.  Guest speakers are often invited to speak at the beginning of the meeting about issues or projects that might be considered for further action by the GDA.

Meetings are held on the last Thursday of each month (@7:30 pm), unless the date is moved or the meeting cancelled (such as in November).  There are four officers elected each year (President, Vice-President, Recording Secretary and Treasurer) and numerous committee chairmen.  We always try to end the meeting before or around 9:00 pm.

GDA meetings are held at Council 799: 10110 Shoreview Road, Dallas 75238, 214-348-7940
