Serving Our Families

family_brochure1In addition to providing great benefits, the Knights of Columbus does a lot to support our families...

To make the world right,
we must make sure that our
families come first.


Things may have changed, but we start and end with family.

 

family_brochure3Families are at the very core of the Knights of Columbus. The Order was founded by Father Michael J. McGivney for the purpose of protecting immigrant Catholic widows and orphans.

Decades after the founding of our Order, the vision and mission set forth by Father McGivney is still as relevant and worthwhile to today’s families as it was to those families from 19th century New England.

Each member of the family has to become, in a special way,
the servant of the others.

With today’s lifestyles, there are many demands on a person’s time. Work and family responsibilities make it difficult to juggle the different roles and still have time to give back to those in need.

family_brochure4The Knights of Columbus organizational structure enables members to serve the community and the Church while doing so along with their family and other Catholic families that share like beliefs and values.

The strength of the family is each individual member. The strength of each member is the family. This holds true in the Knights of Columbus as well.

The family is the nucleus of civilization.

family_brochure2Local Knights of Columbus councils offer a wide variety of activities and programs that will involve your entire family. Family picnics, athletic events, family prayer services and monthly award programs that recognize families that exemplify what the Knights of Columbus is about. These are just a few of the activities that you can participate in with your family as a member of the Order. 

The Order was founded to assist and strengthen the family, and today we continue to strive to grow on that strong foundation.

 

 

 

 

 

The family is the cornerstone of our society.

 

If you are a Catholic man, 18 years or older and you wish to become closer to your family or if you wish to strengthen your faith or just want to give back to your community, we have something for you in the Knights of Columbus. Join Today.
