The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic Men’s fraternal benefit society started on February 6th, 1882 in New Haven, Connecticut by the then assistant Pastor of St. Mary’s Church in New Haven, Father Michael J. McGivney. The organization has expanded from the initial purpose of uniting men of Catholic faith and providing a safety net for their families to a multinational charitable organization with offices in the Vatican. Pope John Paul II referred to the order as the “strong right arm of the Church” for our support of the church doctrines and teachings.
