J. McGivney, curate at St. Mary's parish in New Haven Connecticut. The Knights of Columbus was chartered on March 29, 1882, in the
State of Connecticut.As the priest explained to a small group of men at a meeting in the basement of St. Mary's Church in October
1881, his purpose in calling them together was manifold: to help Catholic men remain steadfast in their faith through mutual encouragement;
to promote closer ties of fraternity among them; and to set up an elementary system of insurance so that the widows and children of
members in the group who might die would not find themselves in dire financial situations.Membership in the Knights of Columbus is
open to practical Catholic men in union with the Holy See, who shall not be less than 18 years of age on their last birthday. A practical
Catholic is one who lives up to the Commandments of God and the Precepts of the Church. Application blanks are available from any
member of the Knights of Columbus. Every Knight is happy to propose eligible Catholic men for consideration as members.
