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

  • An annual "mobile" blood drive in cooperation with Mass General hospital
  • Cleanup / upkeep of the area around the crucifixion statue in St. Mary's cemetery for the annual Memorial Day and Veterans Day masses
  • Periodic assistance with coffee & donuts in St. Mary's parish hall
  • Other annual activities like our basketball free throw contest, college scholarship, family movie night / cookout and more!
