From the moment of our founding in 1882, charity has been the first principle of the Knights of Columbus.
We are Catholic men of faith and men of charitable action.
Our charitable activities encompass an almost infinite variety of local, national and international projects. Our own unique charities
include the Christian Refugee Relief Fund, Disaster Relief, Ultrasound Initiative, and Coats for Kids. We also partner with international
charities including Special Olympics, The Global Wheelchair Mission, and Habitat for Humanity.
Through our Building the Domestic Church initiative, Knights and their families have greater opportunities to participate in a
variety of activities that deepen their faith, promote the New Evangelization, and strengthen our parishes.
The Knights of Columbus also provides our members the opportunity to take advantage of our Order’s Top Rated Insurance and Financial Services offerings, from simple life insurance policies to many different programs to benefit those near to or in retirement. In fact, our agents will meet
with you and your spouse even before you join, to better understand your financial goals, and present options to you based on your needs.
If you’d like to be a part of an international organization of nearly 2 million Catholic men whose principal work
involves helping others in need, we'd like to meet you and invite you join us.
We have also made it easier to join the Knights of Columbus! You can now join the Knights of Columbus and participate in our
Initiation Ceremony all on-line from the comfort of your own home, at your convenience, in less than 1 hour!
