Our Founder, Father Michael McGivney, had the vision of a society of Catholic men, joined together for mutual assistance, prepared to help in times of need and to bring spiritual help and material support to families in mourning.
Father McGivney had this vision for a very long time because as a parish priest he had visited many homes and had a clear idea of their needs.
Father Michael McGivney was a man of action; he decided to give substance to his ideas by calling together the men of his parish (St. Mary's). At that meeting, our Order was founded.
In founding the Order, Father McGivney had no intention of establishing a commercial insurance company, but rather to create a means whereby the security of its family-members would be assured.
Today, the story is well known. His vision has become a reality.
As a fraternal insurance company (mutual insurance company), the Knights of Columbus maintain, for the protection of its members, an insurance program sufficiently comprehensive and flexible, that can respond to practically any need.
The Knights of Columbus insurance program is intended solely for the benefit of its members and their families. It offers a wide range of insurance policies, comparable to those offered elsewhere - and at a competitive price.
With more than $43 billion of insurance in force and assets of $8.6 billion, the insurance program has all the financial muscle and organizational structure to recruit new members and to ensure the loyalty and involvement of those who are already members of the Order. Throughout the Order, the insurance and its fraternal character make for a well-oiled team.
Every Knight and the members of his family (wives and children) may avail themselves of the products mentioned below.
You are a member of the Knights of Columbus and are proud of it.
