What are Knights of Columbus?
Knights of Columbus are Catholic gentlemen committed to the
exemplification of charity, unity, fraternity, patriotism, and defense
of the priesthood. The Order is consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Order is unequivocal in its loyalty to the Pope, the Vicar of Christ
on earth. It is firmly committed to the protection of human life, from
conception to natural death, and to the preservation and defense of the
family. Brother Knights work to fulfill the central mission of the
Order: striving in charitable works; serving the Church and unified in
following its teachings; supporting brother Knights in their temporal
