The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic fraternal service organization. Founded in the United States in 1882, it is named in honor of Christopher Columbus. The Knights of Columbus has grown from several members in one council to more than 14,000 councils and 1.8 million members worldwide. Membership is limited to practicing Catholic men aged 18 or older.
Throughout its history, the Order has helped families obtain economic security and stability through its life insurance, annuity and long-term care programs. It gives millions of dollars annually to charities and its members perform millions of hours of voluntary service.
