Hoping to give the men of our Parish a reason to (re)consider becoming a member of the Knights. We are more than Burrito and Fish Fry folks, though we do love that time of the year, we really stress our Charity, Unity and Fraternity aspects of our order.
The organization was founded on March 29, 1882, as a mutual benefit society for working-class and immigrant Catholics in the United States. In addition to providing an insurance system for its members, it has grown to support refugee relief, Catholic education, local parishes and dioceses, and global Catholic social causes. The Knights of Columbus have played an active role in politics ever since its formation, and promote the Catholic view on public policy issues around the world.
