KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Interested in joining the Knights of Columbus? The Knights of Columbus organization was founded through the efforts of Fr. Michael McGivney in New Haven, Connecticut in 1882; a time when workplace accidental death and disability were more common than today. Fr. McGivney (whose cause for canonization is being investigated) hoped to provide financial aid to members and their families in times of need. The Knights of Columbus promoted fellowship through educational, charitable, religious and social programs.
If you are a practicing Catholic man over the age of 18, we invite you to join the St. Luke the Evangelist Knights of Columbus, Council 14895. For more information on the Knights click the website link below.
