Thanks
to the efforts of Father
Michael J McGivney,
assistant pastor of St.
Mary's
Church in New Haven, CT and
some of his parishioners,
the
Connecticut
state legislature
on March 29, 1882, officially chartered the Knights of Columbus as a
fraternal
benefit society.
The
Order is still true to its
founding principles of charity, unity and fraternity.
We encorage you to visit our website often and review the many
charitable and
service programs and activities of our Council. You might
also get a
better feel for how the Knights of Columbus has served those in
need.
