Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic fraternal service organization. It was founded by Fr. Michael J. McGivney in New Haven, CT, in 1882. The Knights were formed to provide financial aid to its members and families and continues to do so today through life insurance, annuities, and long-term care programs. The 4 core principles of the Knights are charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. In 2016, the Knights raised over 176 million dollars, and volunteered more than 75 million hours. The council here at St. Stephen the Witness is working to improve our presence on campus, as well as within the St. Stephen community. We are known for our pancake breakfast on Super Bowl Sunday, but are working to integrate ourselves more fully into the community and find other areas where we can serve.
