Holy Family Knights Council #11675

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal service organization founded in 1882 by Blessed Michael J. McGivney in New Haven, Connecticut. The organization provides charitable services, promotes Catholic education, and supports Catholic parishes and the wider community.

Our main purpose is to provide charitable services, defend the Catholic faith, and promote family and pro-life values. We also focus on unity among members and our communities.

To join the Knights of Columbus, one must be a practicing Catholic man, at least 18 years of age, and be in good standing with the Church.

The degrees represent the core principles of the Order: Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. Each degree ceremony imparts a lesson on one of these principles.

Yes, the Knights of Columbus offers a range of life insurance, long-term care insurance, and annuity products exclusively for its members and their families.

The Knights of Columbus is made up of councils, typically associated with parishes or communities. Above the council level, there are state and international levels of the organization, each with its leadership and organizational structures.

The Knights participate in a wide range of charitable activities, including supporting the needs of the Church, local communities, and global efforts. We provide support for disaster relief, food drives, housing assistance, and pro-life initiatives, among others.

While the Knights operate as an independent organization, we often collaborate with Catholic parishes, dioceses, and other Catholic charitable organizations in their charitable endeavors.

The Knights of Columbus place a strong emphasis on family values and support various initiatives to strengthen Catholic family life. This includes family prayer programs, scholarships, and activities that promote family bonding and faith formation.
