Welcome To Our Lady of Fatima Council
Knights are Catholic men, 18 years of age and older who are committed to making this community a better place while supporting St. Gregory the Great Church. Being a Knight is more than camaraderie; it is being involved with your community; while enhancing your own faith; it is about protecting and enhancing your family life. Imagine being a part of an organization that fills your heart and your mind with the joy of giving to others and the feeling that comes with making a difference.
Join the Knights
Columbian Year 2020-2021 marks the 70th Anniversary of our Council #3436, and it has been serving at St Martin’s Parish since 1951; the council is pleased to have had a home at St. Martin Parish for 70 years of its history.
Our Founder
On Oct. 2, 1881, a group of men met in the basement of St. Mary’s Church on Hillhouse Avenue in New Haven, Conn. Called together by their 29-year-old parish priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, these men formed a fraternal society.
Insurance
The Knights of Columbus is a fraternal benefit society, which means we can provide financial security to members and their families, while turning premiums into charitable impact. You can find more detail on this.
Preparing for a New Beginning.
Our Parishes and Communities are beginning to open up. We need your help re-opening our Churches and supporting our Communities. Get involved and become a California Knight of Columbus!
