About Us

A court is a group of COF members (policyholders) usually located within a similar geographic area and associated with a parish. We invite you to attend one of our meetings and participate in an outreach event! Contact a court officer for more information.

The first meeting of St. Anthony #743 Court was held on October 24, 1897, with Conrad Fuchs elected as the first Chief Ranger and 31 members present. The minutes for the first 23 years were written in German. Today, our membership includes over 430 adult and 41 youth members.

Members are welcome to attend our meetings, which are held at 7:30 p.m. on the first Monday after the second Sunday in odd months (January, March, May, July, September, and November) in the Parish Center at the Church of St. Anthony in Watkins, MN.
