Since our founding in 1882, the primary mission of the Knights of Columbus has been to protect families from the financial ruin caused by the death of the breadwinner. In the beginning, Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney and his fellow Knights “passed the hat” to benefit widows and orphans. From that humble start, the Order has grown to include top-rated life insurance, long-term care insurance and retirement products. With more than $75 billion of insurance in force and a full-time field force of more than 1,400 serving our members and

their families, we are proudly fulfilling Fr. McGivney’s vision.

 

As a member of our organization, you enjoy the opportunity to participate as a family and positively affect your church and community. One person can make a difference.

That’s impact!
