The Knights of Columbus is a Fraternal Organization of Catholic men dedicated to the virtues of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. There are 4 councils in Burlington, and a Fourth Degree Assembly.
The Knights of Columbus was formed to render financial aid to members and their families through educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, and public relief works.
The history of the Order shows how the foresight of Father Michael J. McGivney, whose cause for sainthood is being investigated by the Vatican, brought about what has become the world's foremost Catholic fraternal benefit society.
