The Knights of
Columbus is a Catholic men's fraternal benefit society that 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.
The history of the
Order shows how the foresight of Father Michael J. McGivney, whose
cause for sainthood is being investigated by the Vatican, brought
about what has become the world's foremost Catholic fraternal
benefit society. The Order has helped families obtain economic
security and stability through its life insurance, annuity and
long-term care programs, and has contributed time and energy
worldwide to service in communities.
The Knights of
Columbus has grown from several members in one council to more than
12,000 councils and 1.7 million members throughout the United
States, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, the Dominican Republic,
Puerto Rico, Panama, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Guatemala,
Guam and Saipan.
