Knights of Columbus Ohio State Council

Blessed McGivney Icon

In celebration of the 125th Anniversary of the Ohio State Council, State Deputy Jeff Kiliany and the State Officers commissioned the Blessed McGivney Icon.  This icon has various depictions of the Knights of Columbus from Supreme and Ohio history that made our Order what it is today.  Founder of the Knights of Columbus presents a frontal image of him dressed in modern vestments. Bl. Father McGivney has entered eternity; he is no longer limited by time or place in his appearance or aid to us.

Point the World to Jesus Christ

“If we get the man right, we get everything right – the marriage, the family, the parish, the community. We need men who will say ‘Yes’ to their God-given vocation.” — Patrick Kelly, Supreme Knight

OUR MISSION

Together, we’re empowering Catholic men to live their faith at home, in their parish, at work and in their community.

OUR FAITH

Our goal is to help men, their families and their parishes grow closer to Christ. Through our programs and resources, we provide opportunities to live and spread the Catholic faith.

OUR HISTORY

Service and charity are at the heart of the Knights. Founded to meet the needs of immigrants, refugees and families suffering from the death of a breadwinner, the Knights began as a small service organization and has grown into a worldwide financial and charitable organization.

JOIN US

We are Catholic men who lead, serve, protect and defend. We share a desire to be better husbands, fathers, sons, neighbors and role models and to put charity and community first.

FAITH

Our goal is to strengthen men and their families in the Catholic faith. Formation in our faith goes beyond mere facts or religious practice to an authentic connection with a loving God and his son Jesus Christ.

FAMILY

Father McGivney sought to strengthen the bonds of families in his parish and the Knights of Columbus. These programs, created for families by families, help us to live this call.

COMMUNITY

Knights are called to serve others. Our first principle is Charity – at home with our families and in our communities. When Knights of Columbus members come together they accomplish great things.

The Knights of Columbus vigorously defends the dignity of each human being at every stage of life.
