Our Mission Statement

Christ The King Council13388 is comprised of members of the Knights of Columbus, the largest fraternal lay organization of The Catholic Church. We are Catholic gentlemen committed to the exemplification of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, Patriotism, and Defense of The Catholic Church. The order is consecrated to The Blessed Virgin Mary and is unequivocal in its loyalty to the Pope and is firmly committed to the protection of human life from conception to natural death and the preservation and the defense of the family. We are dedicated to helping Catholic Families spiritually grow in their faith and defend their beliefs. Through strong volunteerism of time and talent, members involve themselves in charitable programs to meet the needs of Christ The King Parish and the Mashpee, MA community.

 

 

Father Michael J. Mc Givney

 

founded the Knights of Columbus in 1882 at Saint Mary’s in New Haven, CT. as an organization committed to unity as a Catholic lay organization, Charity to those in need, and Fraternity with fellow brother knights.

 

Today, knights and their families remain true to these principles and work to spread Columbianism around the world.

 

You and your family will benefit from membership in the Knights of Columbus. Join today and help make a better tomorrow.

 

The Knights Prayer

Our Lady Queen of the Knights, bless all the activities of our order. Keep us true to our pledge to extend the kingship of thy Divine Son on Earth. Through your intercession, win for us the grace ever to exemplify in our public and in our private lives the virtues which should characterize those especially dedicated to the service of the heavenly court. Make us always aware as your Knights we are constantly observed, our faith judged and our Order appreciated. Accept O Mary this renewed pledge of Faith and devotion of thy servants, The Knights of Columbus, Amen.
