About Our Order & Council
The Knights of Columbus is the world’s foremost Catholic fraternal service organization. Founded in 1882 by Blessed Father Michael J. McGivney in New Haven, Connecticut, the Order was formed to render financial aid to members and their families, while strengthening their Catholic faith and serving the wider community.
Today, with over 2 million members worldwide, the Knights continue this mission of charity and service across parishes and neighborhoods globally.
Our Four Core Principles
1. Charity
Our faith teaches us to love our neighbor. Knights actively serve the poor, the sick, and those in distress within our parish and town.
2. Unity
None of us is as good as all of us. By standing united in faith, our council achieves lasting impact for our church community.
3. Fraternity
We are a band of Catholic brothers who watch out for and support each other, our families, and our spiritual growth.
4. Patriotism
We are proud of our nation and our heritage, actively supporting our veterans, first responders, and civic virtue.
