Background of the Knights |
||
The Knights of Columbus
began in the basement of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Connecticut in
1882, when
Father Michael J. McGivney called together a small group of Catholic
laymen to unite them in their faith and help provide for Catholic
families in times of need. The Order quickly grew, and today there are
over 1.8 million members in more than
13,000 local units called councils worldwide. It is now the largest lay
Catholic organization in the world. Last year members worldwide
contributed more than 68 million hours of volunteer time and donated
over $143 million to charitable programs. |
