Who Are the Knights?
The Knights of Columbus have more than 16,000 councils headquartered in Catholic parishes around the world.
Knights put their faith into action every day to make life better in their parishes and communities.
We offer men the opportunity to grow in their faith while helping others and supporting the Church, and to become better Catholics, sons, husbands, and fathers.
The Knights of Columbus annually contributes nearly $200 million to worthy charitable causes around the world, and our members donate nearly 100 million hours of their time.
Our founder — Blessed Michael McGivney — has been beatified by the Church. People around the world seek his intercession through prayer.
