Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 by Fr. Michael McGivney, and is dedicated to the principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. Today it is the largest Catholic Fraternal service organization in the world with over 1.7 million members.

The purpose of the organization is to give financial aid to members and their families, and give assistance to the sick, and the needy.

Knights are dedicated to the growth of the Catholic Church by promoting vocations, giving financial aid to many activities of our Pope, and promoting devotions to the Blessed Mother.

Knights have devoted countless hours and money to charity and pro-life activities, and continue to be a force in promoting strong Christian family values.

Knights of Columbus, Queen of Angels Council was established in 1998. Since our beginning, the council has been strong a supporter of our parish, and have given financial aid to those in need.
