Learn About Us
The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic men's fraternal
benefit society that was formed to render financial aid to
members 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, war relief and public
relief works.
The history of the Order shows how the foresight of
Father Michael J. McGivney, whose cause for sainthood is
being investigated by the Vatican, brought about what has
become the world's foremost Catholic fraternal benefit
society. The Order has helped families obtain economic
security and stability through its life insurance, annuity
and long-term care programs, and has contributed time and
energy worldwide to service in communities.
The Knights of Columbus has grown from several members in
one council to more than 12,000 councils and 1.7 million
members throughout the United States, Canada, the
Philippines, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico,
Panama, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Guatemala, Guam and
Saipan.
