Father Michael J. McGivney and some of his parishioners founded the Knights of St Columbus in Connecticut in 1882. The Order is still true to its founding principles of charity, unity and fraternity.
The Knights of Columbus has grown from several members in one council to more than 14,000 councils and 1.8 million members throughout the world.
Christ The King has it's own group of Knights of Columbus - Council # 8066. They serve God, our Parish and the wider community. They support each other to live as practical Catholic men. In the past decade Texas membership has grown to over 100,000 Knights and their families. The Order continues to build upon its rich tradition of charitable work and spiritual formation. Various new charitable initiatives, as well as ongoing partnerships with organizations, have given Knights countless opportunities to practice what Saint John Paul II called “a charity which evangelizes.”
