Knights of Columbus-FORMER St. Joseph the Worker Council 12003

Thanks to the efforts of Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary’s Church in New Haven and some of his parishioners, the Connecticut state legislature on March 29, 1882, officially chartered the Knights of Columbus as a fraternal benefit society. The Order is still true to its founding principles of charity, unity and fraternity.

St. Joseph the Worker Council 12003 no longer exist and has been amalgamated with a newly created Council called St. Joseph Council 11608 associated with Our Lady of Good Council Parish.

Still, on special occasions, the Hall of our Holy Family Parish is used to prepare some of the Knights of Columbus delicious meat pies for their fundraising. Duirng Lent, they still collect "40 days-40 cans"from our parishioners to help the local St. Vincent Place for needy people. Please, consider to give generously-- food items only. Thank you.
