Founded on the principles of charity, unity and fraternity, the Knights of Columbus was established in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Conn., and a group of parishioners. Their intent? To bring financial aid and assistance to the sick, disabled and needy members and their families.

Today, Father McGivney is being considered for sainthood.

Some of the charities our council supports are Special Olympics, Wheelchairs for Veterans and Second Start, we also have a scholorship fund to benefit graduating high school seniors.
