Knights of Columbus
The Knights of Columbus is a fraternal organization for Catholic men. The order was founded in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney as a means to assist the families of immigrants who had come to the United States. Today, the Knights of Columbus has a membership of over 2 million and provides over $200,000,000 in annual charitable giving to various causes.
Knights of Columbus St. John The Baptist Council #12061 is located in Many, La. Our Council assists our local Parish in providing financial assistance and labor resources for various activities. We also assist our community by helping Catholic and non-Catholic families in need.
