Owatonna Council 945 was founded in 1904 by a group of forty men. Its membership has grown to more than 650. Owatonna Council 945 works closely with St. Joseph and Sacred Heart parishes, providing funds for various projects. Council members are active participants in their parishes. The KC Hall is located at 820 South Elm, several blocks from St. Joseph and Sacred Heart Catholic Churches.

Each year, Owatonna Council 945 members donate over 7,000 hours of volunteer time and financial support is provided to a wide range of local groups and projects. Some of the projects include: Benefit Breakfasts for Special Olympics, St. Mary’s Music Boosters, St. Mary’s Home and School Association, St. Mary's REP/CYO, and the SERRA Club. The proceeds from the Wildlife Benefit Banquet and Auction are committed to environmental, wildlife, and outdoor projects, such as the Leo Rudolph Nature Reserve, soccer fields, and softball fields. The children’s Halloween Party is held for all children in the community. The KC Basketball Free Throw contest is open to all children ages 10-14. People with developmental disabilities receive the proceeds from the Tootsie Roll fundraiser and are guests at a special Christmas Party.

Council meetings are held second Wednesday of each month at 7:30pm at the KC Hall.
