Knights of Columbus
The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men's fraternal organization founded in 1882 through the efforts of Father Michael J. McGivney in New Haven, Connecticut. The founding principles of the Order are charity, unity and fraternity. The Knights was formed to render financial assistance to members and their families, and mutual aid and assistance to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare and public relief works. The Order has helped families obtain economic security and stability through its life insurance, annuity and long-term care programs.
The Knights of Columbus has grown from several members in the original council in New Haven to more than 14,000 councils and 1.8 million members in the United States, Canada, Mexico and 14 other countries.
