Knights of Columbus

The Iowa Knights of Columbus is the world's largest lay Catholic organization, with more than 1.7 million members around the world. The order was founded 125 years ago in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney at St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Connecticut. The original intent to provide welfare and security for families during times of sickness and death has grown so that last year, Knights donated more than 68 million hours of volunteer time and $143 million to charity. The order is currently headed by Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson. --From Iowa Knights of Columbus website.
