The HISTORY of the
KNIGHTS OF
COLUMBUS
On
October 2, 1881, a small group of men met in the basement of St. Mary's
Church on Hillhouse Avenue in New Haven, Connecticut. Called together by
their 29-year-old parish priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, these men
formed a fraternal society that would one day become the world's largest
Catholic family fraternal service organization. They sought strength in
solidarity, and security through unity of purpose and devotion to a holy
cause: they vowed to be defenders of their country, their families and
their faith. These men were bound together by the ideal of Christopher
Columbus, the discoverer of the Americas, the one whose hand brought
Christianity to the New World. Their efforts came to fruition with the
incorporation of the Knights of Columbus on March 29, 1882. They were Knights of Columbus.
