Praying the Rosary of the Unborn
Thanks to the efforts of Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary’s Church in New Haven 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.
Knights are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older, who are "practical" (that is, practicing) Catholics in union with the Holy See, accepting the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live in accord with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in good standing in the Catholic Church.
Knights are committed to making their community a better place, while supporting their Church. Knights support their local Catholic Church and its causes, while deepening their faith; and they believe in protecting and enhancing their family life.
