Our history

Thanks to the efforts of Father Michael J. McGivney,  assistant pastor of St. Mary's Church in New Haven and some of his  parishioners, the Connecticut state legislature on March 29, 1882,  officially chartered the Knights of Columbus as a fraternal benefit  society. The Order is still true to its founding principles of charity,  unity and fraternity.

Our mission

 The Knights 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. Describe the mission of your organization.
