About Us
All the good works we do are informed by our four core principles.
Charity
Our Catholic faith teaches us to "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Members show love for neighbors by conducting food drives, donating to soup kitchens, volunteering at the Special Olympics, and supporting mothers who choose life.
Unity
None of us is as good as all of us. Together, we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. As a Knight, you can count on the support and encouragement of your brother Knights to make life better in your parish and community.
Fraternity
Venerable Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus to assist the widows and children of deceased breadwinners. The Order's top-rated insurance program continues this today, alongside millions of fraternal service hours.
Patriotism
Members of the Knights of Columbus are patriotic citizens proud of our devotion to God and country. Whether in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst their finest citizens.
