The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal order that has become known for its service work. As one might expect, the patron and namesake of the group is 15th century explorer Christopher Columbus. As a religious service organization, the Knights donate much and often to faith-based charities. One of the main purposes of the group is to foster good Catholic citizenship within the order.
The Knights were instrumental in lobbying for the words “under God” to be added to the Pledge of Allegiance, a change that was made in 1954. More recently, the Knights have been outspoken about social issues, generally adopting a conservative position. For example, many of them are outspoken about pro-life causes. Members of the organization often wear Knights of Columbus rings.
