What exactly is the Knights of Columbus?
The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic service organization dedicated to the four principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. Known as “The Strong Right Arm of the Church,” the Knights provide volunteer service to the local community and beyond, insurance for members, and a strong and lasting sense of brotherhood and friendship. The Order was founded by Father Michael J. McGivney in 1882. Membership is open to all Catholic Men in good standing. The main website for the Knights of Columbus is located here.
