Knights of Columbus

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