History of the Knights

The Knights of Columbus was founded in

1882 by a 29-year-old parish priest,

Father Michael J. McGivney, in the

basement of St. Mary's Church in New

Haven, Connecticut. Today, more than a

century later, the Knights of Columbus

has become the largest lay

organization in the Catholic Church.

The Order has been called "the

strong right arm of the Church," and

has been praised by popes, presidents

and other world leaders, for support

of the Church, programs of

evangelization and Catholic education,

civic involvement and aid to those in

need. As recently as 1992, Mother

Teresa of Calcutta praised the Knights

in a speech on the occasion of her

reception of the first Knights of

Columbus Gaudium et Spes Award.

Thanks to the inspired work of

Father McGivney—as well as that of

millions of other Knights over the

past century—the Knights of Columbus

now stands at its pinnacle of

membership, benefits and service.

Currently, there are over 1.6 million

Knights of Columbus—more than ever

before in our Order's history.

Together with their families, the

Knights are nearly 6 million strong.

In addition, from the first local

council in New Haven, the Order has

grown to more than 12,000 councils in

the United States, Canada, Mexico, the

Philippines, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the

Dominican Republic, Panama, the Virgin

Islands, Guatemala, Guam and Saipan.

Each year, the Order continues this

strong growth.

As the Order has grown, its

benevolence has multiplied. The Order

continues to break all previous

records for charitable contributions

and volunteer service. In the past

decade, the Knights donated nearly $1

billion to numerous charitable causes

and nearly 400 million hours of

volunteer service. In 1999 alone, the

Knights donated nearly $109 million

and 55 million volunteer hours to

charitable causes.

Knights of Columbus are Catholic

gentlemen committed to the

exemplification of charity, unity,

fraternity, patriotism, and defense of

the priesthood. The Order is

consecrated to the Blessed Virgin

Mary. The Order is unequivocal in its

loyalty to the Pope, the Vicar of

Christ on earth. It is firmly

committed to the protection of human

life, from conception to natural

death, and to the preservation and

defense of the family. It was on these

bedrock principles that the Order was

founded over a century ago and remains

true to them today.

Our local Council #952 has a

membership of over 300 gentlemen. We

are very active in raising funds for

many charities. Last year we donated

approximately $24,000 to different

charitable organizations. We also

enjoy each other’s friendship at our

monthly meetings and annual social and

family events. Most importantly, we

work hard for the good of our

parishes. We celebrate mass and pray

together. If you'd like to help us,

you can.

BE ACTIVE IN OUR KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

COUNCIL #952!

VIVAT JESUS!
