Why Join The Knights?
he Knights of Columbus was officially chartered in
1882 as a fraternal benefit society. The order is still
true to its founding principles of charity, unity,
fraternity and patriotism.
n its conception, by Father Michael J. McGivney, the
Knights of Columbus organization was formed to
render financial aid to Catholic men and their families.
Mutual 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, and public relief
works.
s catholic men we are called to grow in faith and to
grow in love of God with all our heart, mind and
strength and to love our neighbours as ourselves.

and married adults, family men and seniors we are

Connecticut officially chartered the order on March 29, 1882.
Today, the Knights have over 1.8 million members, and we are the
largest men’s Catholic fraternal organization in the world.
e are founded on the principles of charity, unity and fraternity. as
Knights, we are able to
provide assistance and support to members and their
families whenever needed. As fathers and husbands,
serving our families is not only part of what we do; it is part of who
we are. To that end, Knights of Columbus Councils offer programs
that strengthen family and marital bonds by holding numerous family
focused events, including the “Family of the Month” program that
honors our outstanding families.
s Knights, our faith is our foundation. Dedicated to the
Catholic Church’s growth and her good works, we support
religious outreach, promote vocations, and provides
financial support for seminarians and postulates. This way, we help
support our Church and strengthen our personal faith. As committed
as we are to the Catholic Church, so we are to our communities by:
•
Actively and financially supporting many charities,
•
Leading the charge in pro-life,
•
Safeguarding the environment.
•
The knights of Columbus members all over the world have helped
countless communities prosper.
Who Are We?
Our goal is to strengthen our men and their families in the faith. When we
entered the order, we were reminded to constantly inform ourselves in the
Catholic faith. This formation goes beyond more facts or religious practice
to an authentic connection with a loving God and his son Jesus Christ.

Helping Hands
The urgency of the threat to a culture of life cannot be
misunderstood. Respect for the dignity of life demands a
commitment to human rights across a broad spectrum.
Both as Knights of Columbus and as followers of Christ,
“Catholics must be committed to the defense of life in all
its stages and in every condition” (Saint John Paul II, 1995).
