Knight of Columbus

Mission
The Knights of Columbus began in 1882, when Father McGivney and a small group of pioneering Catholics founded a society designed to provide much needed security for widows and orphans of Catholic parishioners. The original idea grew quickly, becoming an order of Catholic men and their families, dedicated to promoting the concepts of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism. Today there are more than a million and a half members in over 12,000 local councils

Membership Eligibility
If you are a practicing Catholic man at least 18 years of age, the Knights of Columbus may be just what you have been looking for. You can become as involved as you wish. Just remember that the Knights offer an opportunity for fellowship with people who share the same beliefs, and who recognized the same duty to God, to family, and to folks down the block and across the sea. To be a member, please call 408-934-9443.
