STEWARDSHIP: Gratitude in Action - Our Way of Life
The Knights of Columbus is a fraternity of Catholic men, founded in New Haven, Connecticut on March 29, 1882, by Rev. Michael J. McGivney.
This original group has blossomed into an international society of over 1.6 million Catholic men, plus their families, who belong to over 11,000 Councils that are spread throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guatemaia, Panama, Cuba, Guam, the Virgin Islands, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, Taipan, and Poland.
These Councils have dedicated themselves to the Columbian principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. The Knights are founded upon ideals inspired by the teachings of our Catholic faith and the proud heritage of service to our Church, Country and Neighbors.
The Vic Giasson Council 10733 was started in 1991 with just a small group of men, some who were Knights from before and others who became a Knight for the first time. In the 17 years since its beginning, the Council has now grown to over 160 men in the St. George and Kanab areas.
