The Knights of Columbus, founded in 1882 by Fr. Michael McGivney, has become the
largest lay organization in the Catholic Church. This great organization of
Catholic men has as its basic principles: charitable works; serving the Church
and following it's teachings; supporting brother Knights; acting for the good
of their country; and giving aid to widows, orphans, the sick and the poor.
This is Father McGivney's dream which is living today in the hearts of his
brothers and all of those they touch.
Today the Knights of Columbus has grown to an international service organization of
more than 1.75 million members in 13,000 councils.
In 2008, the organization donated $150 million and 68 million hours of volunteer
service to charitable causes.
Web site www.fathermcgivney.org
is devoted to the life and legacy of Fr. McGivney.
