Greetings and salutations! Welcome to the New Jersey State Council Knights of Columbus website!
We are proudly part of the largest global family fraternal Catholic organization – the Knights of Columbus. Our founder, Blessed Rev. Michael McGivney, was inspired in 1882 with an innovation to strengthen his congregation's faith while aiding widows and orphans. He explained his vision to a small gathering of twenty working-class and immigrant Catholic men in the basement of St. Mary's Church located in New Haven, Connecticut. This humble meeting established the Knights of Columbus, and the organization has since grown to over two million dedicated members worldwide.If you have ever entertained getting involved through your faith while helping your family, parish, local youth, and community, I would like you to consider joining the Knights of Columbus! We are the fraternal service organization of like-minded Catholic men you’ve been seeking.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A KNIGHT? As a Knight, you put your faith into action through corporal works of mercy in your community and around the world. You also have the opportunity to protect yourself and your family through our fraternal benefits society. A Knight demonstrates respect and defense while promoting the dignity of every human person at every moment in every condition.
HOW DO WE ACHIEVE BLESSED McGIVNEY'S DREAM? The Knights of Columbus practice four guiding principles: charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism.
Are you still unsure about becoming a Knight? Explore our website to see firsthand who we are and visiting https://www.kofc.org/en/who-we-are/our-story/index.html OR, better yet, join for FREE by using the promotional code BLESSEDMCGIVNEY.

I look forward to shaking your hand and congratulating you on your decision to become a brother Knight soon!
Yours in friendship and fraternity,

Knights of Columbus History
Founded by Father Michael J. McGivney, curate at St. Mary's Parish in New Haven, Connecticut, the Knights of Columbus was chartered in the State of Connecticut on March 29, 1882.
As the Priest explained to a small group of men at a meeting in the basement of St. Mary's Church in October 1881, his purpose in calling them together was manifold: to help Catholic men remain steadfast in their faith through mutual encouragement, to promote closer ties of fraternity among them; and to set up an elementary system of insurance so that the widows and children of members in the group who might die would not find themselves in dire financial straits.
