The
Knights of Columbus - Protecting Families for Generations
Since our founding
in 1882, the primary mission of the Knights of Columbus has been
to protect families from the financial ruin caused by the death
of the breadwinner. In the beginning, Venerable Father Michael J.
McGivney and his fellow Knights “passed the hat” to benefit
widows and orphans. From that humble start, the Order has grown
to include top-rated life insurance, long-term care insurance and
retirement products. With more than $78 billion of insurance in
force and a full-time field force of more than 1,400 serving our
members and their families, we are proudly fulfilling Fr. McGivney’s
vision.
The best way
to learn about our products is by arranging a visit with a local
field agent. Together, we can custom design an insurance program
to meet your current needs, help you plan for the future or simply
explain the many fraternal benefits that come with membership.

Your family's
financial welfare, preservation of your assets and retirement, and
helping you create a family legacy to be enjoyed by future generations,
