Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic fraternal benefit society with more than 1.9 million members in over a dozen countries. Founded by Father Michael J. McGivney to help provide financial aid to Catholic widows and their families, the Knights of Columbus is now one of the largest life insurers in North America. The Knights of Columbus also helps support a multitude of charitable causes. In the last decade, the Order has given more than $1.55 billion to charity. Membership is open to men 18 years of age or older who are practicing Catholics in union with the Holy See.

Locally, the Knights of Columbus meet the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at The Old Fitz Public House in downtown Marion.
