What is a Knight?

The Knights of Columbus was founded on the principles of charity, unity and fraternity.  Established in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney at St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Connecticut, his intent was to bring financial aid and assistance to the sick, disabled and needy members and their families.

As the world’s foremost Catholic fraternal benefit society, the Order has helped families obtain economic security and stability through its life insurance, annuity and long-term care programs, and has contributed time and energy worldwide to service in communities.

The Knights of Columbus has grown from several members in one council to nearly 17,000 councils and 2.2 million members throughout the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, Poland, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Panama, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Cuba, Guatemala, Guam, Saipan, Ukraine, Lithuania, France, Korea, and Spain.

Knights use a lot of muscle to get things done in communities around the state.
