Learn About Our Legacy and What it Means to be a Knight
The three short videos below will provide you with information and details about the founding of the Knights of Columbus by an American priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, a brief history of our Order, the great work we do for faith, family, community and life, and how we are making a difference in the world. All three videos can be watched in 18 minutes. We hope they will enlighten you more about who we are and what we stand for, and inspire you to become a Brother Knight in our local council at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Houston, Texas.
