Founded on the principles of charity, unity and fraternity, the Knights of Columbus was established in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Conn., and a group of parishioners. Their intent? To bring financial aid and assistance to the sick, disabled and needy members and their families.
At Queen of Angels, Knight's Council 6918 serves the church by helping to maintain church facilities, hosting luncheons, reaching out to the community, and raising funds for charitable causes.
If you'd like to get involved, the Knights council meets on the third Sunday of every month.

We take a holistic approach to assist the families that contact us, also addressing food insecurity and medical needs. Nutrition and health care are critical parameters impacting financial stability. We have been meeting with families where they live since 1992. Our SVdP collaborates with numerous organizations and agencies to marshall the full strength of the community.
