<strong>Knights</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Columbus</strong>
Each member <strong>of</strong> the family has<br />
to become, in a special way, the<br />
servant <strong>of</strong> the others.<br />
Things may change us, but we<br />
start and end with family.<br />
Families are at the very core <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Knights</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Columbus</strong>. The Order was founded by Father<br />
Michael J. McGivney for the purpose <strong>of</strong> protecting<br />
immigrant Catholic widows and<br />
orphans.<br />
Decades after the founding <strong>of</strong> our Order, the vision<br />
and mission set forth by Father McGivney is still<br />
as relevant and worthwhile to today’s families<br />
as it was to those families from 19th century<br />
New England.<br />
With today’s lifestyles, there are many demands<br />
on a person’s time. Work and family responsibilities<br />
make it difficult to juggle the different<br />
roles and still have time to give back to<br />
those in need.<br />
The <strong>Knights</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Columbus</strong> organizational structure<br />
enables members to serve the community<br />
and the Church while doing so along with<br />
their family and other Catholic families that<br />
share like beliefs and values.<br />
The strength <strong>of</strong> the family is each individual<br />
member. The strength <strong>of</strong> each member is the<br />
family. This holds true in the <strong>Knights</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Columbus</strong> as well.<br />
The family is the nucleus <strong>of</strong><br />
civilization.<br />
Local <strong>Knights</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Columbus</strong> councils <strong>of</strong>fer a<br />
wide variety <strong>of</strong> activities and programs that<br />
will involve your entire family. <strong>Family</strong> picnics,<br />
athletic events, family prayer services<br />
and monthly award programs that recognize<br />
families that exemplify what the <strong>Knights</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Columbus</strong> is about. These are just a few <strong>of</strong><br />
the activities that you can participate in with<br />
your family as a member <strong>of</strong> the Order.<br />
The Order was founded to assist and strengthen<br />
the family, and today we continue to strive to<br />
grow on that strong foundation.
