Mission -

CHARITY, UNITY, FRATERNITY, AND PATRIOTISM - Knights of Columbus are Catholic gentlemen committed to the exemplification of charity, unity, fraternity, patriotism, and defense of the priesthood. The Order is consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Order is unequivocal in its loyalty to the Pope, the Vicar of Christ on earth. It is firmly committed to the protection of human life, from conception to natural death, and to the preservation and defense of the family. It was on these bedrock principles that the Order was founded over a century ago and remains true to them today.

Additional Information - 

Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 by a 29-year-old parish priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Connecticut. 

Today, more than a century later, the Knights of Columbus has become the largest lay organization in the Catholic Church, with more than 1.6 million members worldwide. The Order has been called "The Strong Right Arm of the Church" and has been praised by popes, presidents and other world leaders, for support of the Church, programs of evangelization and Catholic education, civic involvement and aid to those in need.

Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to practical Catholic men in union with the Holy See, who shall not be less than 18 years of age on their last birthday. A practical Catholic is one who lives up to the Commandments of God and the Precepts of the Church. Application forms are available from any member of the Knights of Columbus.
