Religion, Fraternity, Charity, & Insurance
The Knights of Columbus was organized in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney in the basement of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Connecticut. Since the founding, the Order of the Knights of Columbus has grown to 1.6 million members throughout the world.
The Knights of Columbus headquarters is still located in New Haven, Connecticut. Our society is governed by the Supreme Council, its top legislative body that meets annually in August to vote on resolutions that set policy for the Order. International affairs are administered by an elected board of directors under the chairmanship of the supreme knight.
Elected state officers operate the state councils. They administer the programs and activities under the guidance of a state deputy. The state deputy represents the highest ranking state level officer.
The district deputy represents both the supreme knight and the state deputy in an area known as a district - which is made up of several councils. He is appointed by the supreme knight based on the recommendation of the state deputy.
The highest ranking officer at the local council level is called the grand knight. Along with other officers, he is elected each year by the members of his council.
