WHO WE ARE

WHAT IS THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS?

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal organization of men dedicated to faith, family, charitable service, and supporting the Church and their communities. It began in 1882 when Blessed Michael McGivney gathered a small group of Catholic men in New Haven, Connecticut, with a simple but enduring purpose: to strengthen men in their faith, unite them in brotherhood, and protect families in times of hardship. From those humble beginnings grew a worldwide fraternity of more than 2.2 million men, guided by the principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. Knights are called not merely to profess their faith, but to live it through service to their families, parishes, communities, and those most in need. At its heart, the Knights of Columbus is a brotherhood of Catholic men striving together to become better husbands, fathers, neighbors, and disciples of Christ.

WHO IS COUNCIL 12376?

Council 12376 was founded in 1999 through the efforts of a small group of dedicated Knights and took the name of the parish it proudly serves, Our Lady Queen of the Apostles. Since then, our Council has sought to put faith into action by serving the parish, supporting charitable causes, strengthening Catholic families, and answering the needs of our community. We take the work seriously, but not ourselves too seriously; there is plenty of fellowship, laughter, and brotherhood along the way. Whether we are raising funds, lending a hand, gathering in prayer, or simply enjoying one another’s company, our aim is the same: to serve Christ faithfully and leave our parish and community a little better than we found them.
