History
The Order of the Knights of Columbus is currently the largest Catholic fraternal service organization in the world. It is named in honour of Christopher Colubus and dedicated to the principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. It was first founded by Father Michael J. McGivney, a Catholic priest in New Haven, Connecticut. McGivney created the Order to promote mutual benefits and to provide insurance to care for the widows and orphans left behind when the male head of the household passed on.
