About the Knights
The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal service organization founded by Father Michael J. McGivney in 1882 in New Haven, Connecticut, United States. Originally established to provide financial aid to Catholic immigrants and their families, the organization has since grown into one of the largest fraternal organizations in the world.
The Knights of Columbus operates on four core principles: charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. Members are committed to serving their communities through various charitable activities, including fundraising for those in need, supporting local churches and schools, and promoting Catholic values.
The organization also provides insurance and financial services to its members and their families, offering life insurance, retirement annuities, and long-term care insurance.
The Knights of Columbus has a strong presence internationally, with members in countries around the world. It continues to be a prominent force in Catholic philanthropy and community service.
