Knights of Columbus Ohio State Council

Catholic Bishops of Ohio Statement on Passing of Issue 1

We, the Catholic Bishops of Ohio, are grateful to the Catholic faithful, clergy, and all people of goodwill whose actions in this campaign demonstrated our commitment to honoring and upholding the dignity of life. Your sacrifices prove that the Church will never abandon her mission to support human life. We will persevere in this mission until every preborn child is protected, every pregnant woman is supported, and every human life receives respect, dignity, and justice.

Knights Join the 2023 Ohio March for Life

With Issue 1 on the November 7, 2023, ballot, abortion risks becoming enshrined as a right in the state constitution of Ohio. In response to this critical moment, the second annual Ohio March for Life was held in Columbus on October 6, 2023. Knights marched alongside and helped marshal more than 5000 people in the state capital to stand up for the cause of life and the protection of the most vulnerable in society. 

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A KNIGHT

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.

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.

FAITH IN ACTION PROGRAMS

Lead your family and community in faith and service  through our local councils’ programs.

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.

LIFE

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