The mission of the Knights of Columbus is to empower Catholic men to live their faith at home, in their parish, at work and in their community. It is a Catholic, Family, Fraternal, Service organization.

Founded on the principles of charity, unity and fraternity, the Knights of Columbus was established in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Conn., and a group of parishioners. Their intent? To bring financial aid and assistance to the sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Father McGivney was beatified on October 31, 2020.
