Thank You and God Bless, 

Knights of Columbus - St. Basil the Great Council 13271
 

Please support our GoFundMe fundraising drive to assist people with intellectual disabilities. 
 

The Knights of Columbus was formed in 1882, by the venerable Father Michael J. McGivney, in the basement of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Connecticut, was and still is today a fraternal organization that takes care of its members through their own insurance program (which has received the highest insurance ratings in the industry for years on end). 

It is the largest lay Catholic organization in the world. From that small group that first formed in 1882, to the present day, there are over 1.8 million Catholic men who still carry on the basic principle of our order, Charity. 
 
At St Basil Church, the Knights of Columbus have established Council 13271 with over a hundred members. Our Council conducts several parish activities, such as Tootsie Roll Campaign, Free Throw Contest, and Essay Contest to help our church and our parishioners.
We can often be seen changing light bulbs, cooking for school and parish events, serving at Catholic Daughters tea parties, and awarding scholarships and grants to SBS.
 

The time commitment is minimal. The rewards are many. We have one meeting per month, commencing at 7:30 pm, which lasts approximately 1 hour. The Knights of Columbus is always looking for new members who will actively contribute to its principles and the Church.
