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.
Knights of Columbus Council 9041 at St. Andrew Catholic Church is a Bilingual council that was formed in 1985 by men of St Andrew parish and many of those men are still active to this day.
Council 9041 general meetings are held every third Tuesday of the month @ 7:30 pm in the Family Life Center at St Andrew Catholic Church.
Any man 18 + yrs in age interested in joining or learning more about the Knights can join the meetings @ 7:00 pm during the social time and meet other Knights and ask questions and find out more information.
