The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic family fraternal service organization with 1.7 million members. It provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young people.
Together, we are empowering Catholic men to live their faith at home, in their parish, at work and in their community.
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.
Fraternity - Blessed Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to provide assistance to the widows and children left behind when the family breadwinner died often prematurely. The Order’s top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do the good works of individual Knights
Patriotism - We are proud of our devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both.
