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.
