“Who Are These Men Called Knights”?
If you’re interested in helping those in need, serving
your parish, growing in your faith or having exclusive access to top-rated
insurance protection for your family, then the Knights of Columbus is the
organization for you.
Becoming a Knight of Columbus can transform your life.
As a Knight, you have the opportunity to support your parish, give back to your
community, grow in your faith and gain exclusive access to our top-rated
insurance program to protect your family.
These are just some of the reasons to become a Knight.
We are a band of brothers, a network of men in
communities around the world dedicated to doing good in the service of God and
our neighbor.
What we do:
- Support the parish with its needs
- Help meet the needs of those in the local community
- Provide “Coats for Kids” and “Food for Families”
- Support programs that benefit people with intellectual disabilities
- Aid victims of natural disasters and other catastrophic events, local and worldwide
- Donate wheelchairs to people without mobility at home and abroad
- Save lives through initiatives such as the “Ultrasound Program”
Charity is the
first principle of the Knights of Columbus. Knights are men who get things
done. We volunteer our time to serve our parishes and our communities. And by
working together, we were able to donate more than $1.4 billion and 664 million
volunteer hours to worthy causes in the past decade.
- A unique “band of brothers”
- Shared values and the support to live out our Catholic faith more fully
- The ability for our network to accomplish things together that we could not accomplish alone.

Unity
and Fraternity are the second and third principles of the Knights of
Columbus. The Knights of Columbus was founded so that men could work together
to serve their parishes and communities, protect the well being of their
Catholic families, and support each other in faith and in many other ways along
life’s journey. The Knights of Columbus offers its members the opportunity to grow
in their faith through living the example of a charity that evangelizes and
personifying what it means to be a Catholic gentleman through the practicing of
good works.

mission seriously for more than 130 years. Generations of Catholics have
counted on the Knights of Columbus, and in an increasingly turbulent world, you

of your loved ones and to be there when you need us most.
For 130 years the Knights of Columbus has provided all

The Knights of Columbus is not just a fraternity in
name. It is a brotherhood of Catholic men who each play a part in improving the
world around them, one community at a time. They stand together in faith,
dedicated to uphold the principles they cherish while lending their support and
strength to parish, home and fellow Knights.
