In 1882, Father Michael J. McGivney gathered a
small group of parishioners in St. Mary’s Church in New Haven,
Connecticut. His purpose was to establish a group of men, united
in their faith, and to provide for Catholic families in times of
need. This was the beginning of the Knights of Columbus.
Guided by the principles of charity, unity, and
fraternity, members of the Knights of Columbus work to overcome
the hardships that people face in their parishes and
communities. We are a growing organization — nearly 2 million
members — and for over 130 years, we have committed to overcome
the challenges of the need for food, shelter, warm clothing and
financial security, as well as provide aid for widows and
orphans in our local communities.
Joining your local council of the Knights of
Columbus can change your life. As a Knight, you have the
opportunity to strengthen your parish, give back to your
community, grow in your faith and gain exclusive access to our
portfolio of top-quality insurance products to financially
protect your family. Councils conduct many programs that support
your parish and community including:
But joining your local council does not mean that you need to
sacrifice quality time with your family. In fact, volunteering
an hour here or an hour there with your family can make an
enormous impact in your life and in the lives of others.
If you’re interested in helping those in need in your parish
and community, strengthening your parish and familial
relationships, growing in your faith, and gaining exclusive
access to top-quality insurance protection for you and your
family, then joining your local Knights of Columbus council
gives you the way to achieve these goals.
Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to men 18 years
of age or older who are practical (that is, practicing)
Catholics in union with the Holy See. This means that an
applicant or member accepts the teaching authority of the
Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live
in accord with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in
good standing in the Catholic Church.
