About Us
OUR MISSION
Since 1902, Council 710 has been aiding those in our community in need of life's basic necessities, including food, clothing and shelter. We advocate for a culture of life, from conception to natural death and help men of all ages grow in faith, charity, unity and fraternity while honoring the legacy of the founder of our Order, Blessed Michael J. McGivney. We support the precepts of our Catholic faith through our support of our local Parishes and Roncalli Catholic Schools.
OUR HISTORY AND HERITAGE
Founded on the principles of charity, unity and fraternity, the Knights of Columbus was established in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Conn., and a group of parishioners. Their intent? To bring financial aid and assistance to the sick, disabled and needy members and their families.
Today, Father McGivney is being considered for sainthood.
