The Knights of Columbus San Jose Chapter is named after the Greater San Jose area that it serves. The Chapter covers all the Councils, 4th Degree Assemblies and Squires in the Diocese of San Jose.

The  Chapter serves as a medium for Councils and Assemblies to discuss their various programs. It offers a source of support to member Councils and Assemblies in Districts number 25, 26, 27 and 28; it is a place to coordinate the various exemplifications and events and it serves as a forum for District Deputies, Grand Knights and Faithful Navigators to discuss their particular needs and accomplishments.

The impetus for forming the San Jose Chapter came with the formation of a new San Jose Diocese which was formally part of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. The precedent had already been set when the Oakland Diocese split off from the Archdiocese and Oakland Diocese Chapter was formed to include councils in the new diocese.

The San Jose Chapter works closely with the the four District Deputies in the Diocese of San Jose  and their councils in San Jose California, providing support and funds for various projects, while member councils are active in their perspective parishes.

The current Chapter President for the 2009-2010 Columbian Year is John Pozniak, PGK. The president's contact information is on the officers webpage.
