With more than 2 million members in 17,000 councils, we have brothers around the world serving as Christ’s hands and feet to the vulnerable in their communities.
The Knights of Columbus empowers Catholic men to live their faith and serve their family, parish, community and country.
Founded by Blessed Michael McGivney in 1882, the Knights of Columbus is the premier lay Catholic men’s organization. Guided by the principles of charity, unity and fraternity, we build lifelong relationships with our members and families. We are multigenerational and international. We offer formation, mutual aid and financial security to members through our charity, products and outreach. We aspire to invite every Catholic man to join the Knights of Columbus and to extend our charitable reach as widely as possible.
