Who are the Knights of Columbus
We are a lay men's organization dedicated to serve the church, the community, families, youth and our members. The Knights were founded in 1882 in New Haven, Ct by Fr. Michael J. McGivney. There are 1.7 members with 13,000 councils world wide.
Our Holy Innocents Council (formerly called the Snoqualmie Valley Council) covers the territory from North Bend to Duvall, WA. It encompasses the parishes of Holy Innocents and Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic in Snoqualmie, WA with its mission Church in Carnation, St. Anthony's.
