Founded in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney, the Knights of Columbus are Catholic gentlemen committed to the exemplification of charity, unity, fraternity, patriotism and defense of the priesthood. It is firmly committed to the protection of human life, from conception to natural death, and to the preservation and defense of the family. It was on these bedrock principles that the Order was founded over a century ago and remains true to them today.

The Knights of Columbus is one of the oldest international Catholic brotherhood organizations.  If you want to join this great organization of Catholic men, the Mantua chapter, with a nearby hall on St. Rt. 44, serves the St. Joseph community.
