Knights of Columbus
Who We Are
When God calls you to serve, you will know it
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS IS A CATHOLIC FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO PROMOTING AND CONDUCTING EDUCATIONAL, CHARITABLE, RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL WELFARE WORKS, RENDERING MUTUAL AID AND ASSISTANCE TO SICK AND NEEDY MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND PROVIDING INSURANCE PRODUCTS AND ANNUITIES TO BENEFIT MEMBERS, WIVES AND THE THEIR CHILDREN.
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A KNIGHT
We are Catholic men who lead, serve, protect and defend. We share a desire to be better husbands, fathers, sons, neighbors and role models and to put charity and community first.
Who We Are
Leave no neighbor behind.
Charity is at the heart of our work and our faith — and it always has been. For the Knights of Columbus, charity means supporting a virtually boundless variety of projects.
Our Mission
Together, we’re empowering Catholic men to live their faith at home, in their parish, at work and in their community.
Our Faith
Our goal is to help men, their families and their parishes grow closer to Christ. Through our programs and resources, we provide opportunities to live and spread the Catholic faith.
Our History
Service and charity are at the heart of the Knights. Founded to meet the needs of immigrants, refugees and families suffering from the death of a breadwinner, the Knights began as a small service organization and has grown into a worldwide financial and charitable organization.
Our Membership
With 2 million members around the world, we have been investing our time, effort and resources into our values of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism since 1882.
God is Changing Lives in Our Parishes. Come and Share in Our Mission.
What We Do
We are men who lead, serve, protect and defend, whether we are giving out Coats for Kids, lending a hand in disaster relief efforts, supporting local pregnancy centers by donating ultrasound machines or providing top-quality financial products.

Programs
Faith
Our goal is to strengthen men and their families in the Catholic faith. Formation in our faith goes beyond mere facts or religious practice to an authentic connection with a loving God and his son Jesus Christ.
Since its founding, the Knights of Columbus has been involved in evangelization. As part of this mission, Catholic Information Service (CIS) seeks to help answer questions about the Catholic faith.
Family
Father McGivney sought to strengthen the bonds of families in his parish and the Knights of Columbus. These programs, created for families by families, help us to live this call.
Revitalize our parishes by urging our parish families to devote themselves to the ideal model of familial love set by Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Invite each family in your parish to consecrate themselves to the Holy Family.
Community
Make a powerful difference in our community.
Help those less fortunate with the basic human needs
of clothing, shelter, mobility, and compassion.
Knights are called to serve others. Our first principle is Charity – at home with our families and in our communities.
Life
Create a culture of Life. Assist pregnant women in need in preserving the unborn fetus, provide care for the elderly, aid the disabled, and empower those with special needs to realize their full potential disabled.
