Knights of Columbus Mamaroneck, Council 2247

Knights of Columbus Mamaroneck, Council 2247 The Knights of Columbus Council 2247 serves the entire community of Mamaroneck and the parish of Mos Thanks to the efforts of Father Michael J.

McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary’s Church in New Haven and some of his parishioners, the Connecticut state legislature on March 29, 1882, officially chartered the Knights of Columbus as a fraternal benefit society. The Order is still true to its founding principles of charity, unity and fraternity. The Knights of Columbus was formed to render financial aid to members and their families. Mutu

al aid and assistance are offered to sick, disabled and needy members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and public relief works. The history of the Order shows how the foresight of Father Michael J. McGivney, whose cause for sainthood is being investigated by the Vatican, brought about what has become the world's foremost Catholic fraternal benefit society. The Order has helped families obtain economic security and stability through its life insurance, annuity and long-term care programs, and has contributed time and energy worldwide to service in communities. The Knights of Columbus has grown from several members in one council to more than 14,000 councils and 1.8 million members throughout the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, Poland, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Panama, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Cuba, Guatemala, Guam and Saipan. Council 2247 serves the entire community of Mamaroneck and the parish of Most Holy Trinity-Saint Vito. The Council is headed by Grand Knight Dave Casterella.

When the Knights of Columbus was founded, many Americans looked with suspicion upon Catholicism but held the Catholic explorer Christopher Columbus in high regard. Blessed Michael McGivney and the first Knights chose Columbus as a namesake because he served as an important symbol of courage, unity and hope among American Catholics, particularly Catholic immigrants. Happy Columbus Day to all Knights on this federal holiday!
