The Knights of Columbus is a fraternal and service organization of Catholic men established by Fr Michael J McGivney in 1882 in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. His goal was to provide solidarity for Catholic families who were being discriminated against because of ancestry, religion and status in life and to also provide support to the widows and orphans of deceased members. The Knights’ values are based on four principles: Charity, Fraternity, Unity and Patriotism. Membership is open to Catholic men of at least 18 years of age and in communion with the Holy Sea.
The Knights hold special reverence for the Holy Virgin and have given her the title of “Mary, Queen of the Knights”. The Knights of Columbus also provide unwavering respect and support for all clergy and religious members of the Church. In order to provide support for widows and orphans, an insurance program was set up and is today one of the top rated insurance programs in the world.
The local Knights of Columbus conduct many activities within its fraternal mandate and support many programs as a service organization to the church and its clergy.
No man is too busy to be an active Knight of Columbus. In fact, giving just one full day a year to the Knights of Columbus activities can make an enormous difference in your life. By spending just 24 hours with us you will be able to serve your parish and help those in need in your local community, grow in your faith and access our exclusive top-rated insurance program to protect your family.
Regardless of their schedule or other commitments, nearly 2 millions men around the world have found that the Knights of Columbus add something significant to their lives.
