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.
