Why Join the Knights of Columbus?
Imagine being part of an organization that fills your heart and your mind with the joy of making a difference in your parish, your community, and society. Our members are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, who want to make that difference. We attempt to answer the important question of what legacy a man will build in his lifetime. We are dedicated to serving the needs of our Church, families, youth, community, and our members. Guided by our Catholic faith, we engage in a variety of activities to address the physical and spiritual needs of people, and to enrich their lives. You can find out about our local council's activities on our home page and archives pages for earlier in 2006 and 2005.
Background of the Knights
The Knights of Columbus began in the basement of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Connecticut in 1882, when Father Michael J. McGivney called together a small group of Catholic laymen to unite them in their faith and help provide for Catholic families in times of need. The Order quickly grew, and today there are over 1.7 million members in more than 13,000 local units called councils worldwide. It is now the largest lay Catholic organization in the world. Last year members worldwide contributed more than 68 million hours of volunteer time and donated over $143 million to charitable programs.
Membership
Membership is open to all practicing Catholic men at least 18 years of age.
