The Knights of Columbus 1s 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 Untied 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.
