Our Story

Building on a Vision

Founded in 1882 by Blessed Michael McGivney in New Haven, Connecticut, the Knights of Columbus was created to provide financial support to Catholic families, particularly widows and orphans.

What began as a small fraternal organization has grown into a global network of over 2 million members dedicated to charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. Today, we continue to stand as a pillar of support for our communities and the Church.

Our Founder

"We were created to offer mutual aid and ensure that families would be cared for in times of need."
Blessed Michael McGivney Parish Priest & Founder

Seeing the struggles of Catholic immigrant families in the late 19th century, Fr. McGivney's vision continues to inspire our work today.

Our Mission

We are committed to charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. Our mission is to strengthen faith, support our communities, and provide aid to those in need through acts of service and generosity.

Our Vision

We envision a world where Catholic men lead their families and communities in faith and service. We strive to be a global force for good, supporting the Church and bringing light to the world.
