WHO ARE THESE MEN THEY CALL KNIGHTS?

We are an organization of dedicated individuals 1.8 million members strong, and growing. An organiza-tion that since 1882 has embodied the selflessness of man as it has helped overcome the problems of the world. Poverty. Ignorance. Apathy. Things which imperil not only a single individual, but the whole of

humanity.

We are men of faith, comprising over 14,000 Knights of Columbus councils at home and overseas. Guided not only by our belief in God and the Catholic Church, but by our belief in each other, and in ourselves. We are the Knights of Columbus. Believing that a man is defined by his actions as a follower of God, and as a leader in his community. Believing that a man is more than simply a man, when he bears the title of

“Knight.”

Perseverance and foresight from our founder, Father Michael J. McGivney, has resulted in the largest Catholic fraternal and humanitarian organization ever created. An organization that has endured for over a century

because of the inspirational courage of so many.

The Knights of Columbus is an organization fortified by its past, and driven by its goals for the future. It’s through these five areas of service; faith, community, family, youth, and fellowship that we truly make a

difference.

As Knights, our faith is our foundation. Dedicated to the Catholic Church’s growth and her good works, we support religious outreach, promote vocations, and provide financial support for seminarians. This way, we help support our Church and strengthen our

personal faith.
