Ministry

Seeing and experiencing the difficulties immigrant and working class families experienced when the main income earner died, Blessed Fr. Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus in 1882 in New Haven, Connecticut. What he started as a simple mutual benefit society, has now grown to the the world’s largest Catholic fraternal service organization. 

The Knights of Columbus are Catholic men of faith and men of charitable action. Membership in the association offers the opportunity for fellowship with other men of the same belief who recognize the same duty to God, to family and to neighbour, and who stand with those who share those beliefs.
