The Knights of Columbus organization began in 1882 by Father Michael McGivney and grew tremendously at the start of the 20th century with the bedrock mission of charity, unity, and fraternity. Over the years, the Knights have maintained and strengthened their Catholic identity, taking a stand for religious freedom in opposition of threats of communism. To this day, Knights of Columbus remains an organization of Catholic men striving to live out their vocations well and serve their community as strong, faith-filled role models.
Our local Trinity Council #4580 encompasses St. Martin of Tours, St. Alphonsus, and St. Mary Parishes, as well as Sacred Heart Seminary. We have sponsored food drives, hosted events at parishes and in the community, and recognized families for their service to the church. We meet the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7pm at Sacred Heart Seminary in Franklin.
