Until 2020, the Christ the King of East Aurora Council of the Knights of Columbus met at Christ the King Seminary.  Until that time, it served multiple parishes and focused on supporting the seminarians located there and from time to time cleaning up the seminary grounds.  Upon the announcement of the closing of Christ the King Seminary, the council relocated to Immaculate Conception Parish in East Aurora, and updated its mission, which is to support:

The spiritual enhancement of our members

 Priestly and religious vocations, especially the seminarians of the Diocese of Buffalo

 The needs of the Immaculate Conception Parish, in consultation with its Pastor

 The stated intentions of the Supreme Council, the New York State Council, and the Western New York Chapter of the Knights of Columbus
