Who are the Knights of Columbus?

Picture
The Knights are the largest lay Catholic family service organization in the world.  We were established by the Venerable Fr. Michael J. McGivney, a Catholic priest of St. Mary’s parish in New Haven, CT in 1882.  Guided by the principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism, we work to strengthen our families, our faith, and our parish community.

About our council

Picture
The George C. Shields Council 420 meets monthly on the 2nd Monday of each month in the Rose Garden building behind St. Mary’s parish in Mansfield, MA.  We actively support and sponsor activities within the parish, including:
  • Pancake breakfasts to raise money for our seminarians and other causes within the parish
  • Multiple "mobile" blood drives each year in cooperation with Kraft Family Blood Donor Center in conjunction with Dana-Farber / Bringham and Women's Hospital
  • Cleanup / upkeep of the area around the crucifixion statue in St. Mary's cemetery for the annual Memorial Day and Veterans Day masses
  • ​Other annual activities like our basketball free throw contest, college scholarship, family movie night / cookout and more!
