The world needs more knights

Charity, Unity and Fraternity

Founded in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney and a group of parishioners at St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Connecticut, the Knights of Columbus is dedicated to charity, unity, and fraternity. Our mission is to provide financial support to sick, disabled, and needy members and their families.

As St. Paul instructs, we are called to stand firm in our faith, with integrity, the shield of faith, salvation, and the Word of God guiding us. 

The Knights of Columbus is a brotherhood committed to serving the Catholic Church, with our principles rooted in the Holy Eucharist. United with Christ, we strive to recognize and serve Him in one another and in those we help.
