The Knights of Columbus is a brotherhood of Catholic men that was founded in 1890. They are a non-profit organization dedicated to furthering the community. They generally partake in activities to enrich and further the lives of:

Catholics - Old men who like to drink beer and play bingo and are into Jesus love the K of C. It's like a religious Moose lodge.

Children - The "K of C" that my family was affiliated with held haunted houses and children's Christmas parties.

The Mentally Disabled - The Knights of Columbus are the guys who hold Tootsie Roll drives every march to raise money for programs such as the Special Olympics.

Their sister organization is the Daughters of Isabella - which I always thought was really "thuhdeeuhvie" since that's what my grandmother called it.

The Knights of Columbus were not always an organization for enriching the lives of Catholics. The organization was created in 1882 after a First Communion class was attacked by members of the Know-nothing party. I'll bet you thought those swords were just for show.
