Putting faith into action through Supreme Council-recommended programs.
The Knights of Columbus offers men a place to lead their families and communities in faith and service, and put their faith into action. Knights of Columbus members, parishes, and families have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference through our dozens of faith, family, community, and life programs.
Our goal is to strengthen men and their families in the Catholic faith. Formation in our faith goes beyond mere facts or religious practice to an authentic connection with a loving God and his son Jesus Christ. Programs in this category are designed to draw us closer to God and the Church in a tangible and meaningful way.
Father McGivney sought to strengthen the familial bond of father to mother and children to parents. His vision for family life was not only financial and material aid but also spiritual strength. These programs, created for families by families, help us to live this call.
Knights are called to serve others. Our first principle is Charity — at home with our families and in our communities. When Knights of Columbus members come together as one through their council and parish, they accomplish great things.
“Catholics must be committed to the defense of life in all its stages and in every condition” (St. John Paul II, 1995). The Knights of Columbus vigorously defends the dignity of each human being at every stage of life through these important programs.
