About Us
Who Are The Knights of Columbus?
We are a fraternal organization that provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young people.
Founded by Father Michael J. McGivney (Now Blessed) on March 29, 1882 at St. Mary’s Church in New Haven, Connecticut, its purpose was to act as a mutual aid society and to provide financial assistance to widows and orphans. The Knights of Columbus founding principles are Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. These principles guide our mission as we interact with the Church and community at large.
In Service to One, In Service to All

Our Council Heads
Our numbers that speak
Since our Council’s founding in 1911, we have raised money, helped those in need, donated our time and talents to our Church and community. Our numbers push us to give our best and make sure that we continue to do better. We are happy to be growing and helping more day by day and look forward to having our council grow.
