Young Father McGivney urged these men to acknowledge the urgent need to band together in solidarity and unity to help each other and better support their families, to stay faithful to the Church&rsquo;s teachings, and to help evangelize their continent.<br \/>Convinced by their pastor\u2019s words, they decided to found a charitable organization of Catholic men, united around their parishes.<br \/>They chose Christopher Columbus as their patron, a respected and recognized figure among the Catholic laity and the discoverer of America.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\"

primary vehicle for teaching social values and transmitting the faith.<br \/>A mutual fund, which later evolved into a fraternal benefit society, was established to protect families in the event of an

Active at both the local and international levels, the Order is organized around three main activities:<br \/>1 \u2013 Leading a brotherhood of men mobilized around 16,000 parishes throughout the world,<br \/>2 \u2013 Managing a life insurance company (for Canadian and American members); and<br \/>3 \u2013 Developing charitable and missionary

It opens readers\u2019 minds to the concept of \u201cCatholicity\u201d and thus to the universality of the Church of Christ.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-29a39a7 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"29a39a7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-801d48e\" data-id=\"801d48e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed19148 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ed19148\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">FOUR PRINCIPES<\/h2><p>Knights of Columbus are guided by four principles: charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism.<br \/>CHARITY<br \/>This theological virtue is the core of all Knights of Columbus activities. Charitable actions help us grow in faith and selflessly give more of ourselves. Charity is based on relationships and communion with our neighbors. It evangelizes on its own.<br \/>UNITY<br \/>None of us is as good as all of us. Alone, we can go fast, but together, we can go far. Knights of Columbus serve the Church, banding together in their parishes and using their diverse and complementarity talents to promote a spirit of harmony and unity within the Church.<br \/>FRATERNITY<br \/>We are brothers because we are sons of the same Father, sharing the same land. Knights of Columbus act like brothers when they gather to share times of prayer and fellowship. On the material and spiritual level, they care for and about each other in the fraternal sharing of their vulnerabilities.<br \/>PATRIOTISM<br \/>Knights of Columbus are patriotic citizens, conscious of their civic duties.

Published in 1884, the book advocates for the beatification of Christopher Columbus.<\/p><p>Like Columbus, men are explorers driven by the desire to do, to discover, and to venture out in the world, but also, on a more personal level, to explore the depths of their souls, drawing ever closer to God.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-a166313 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a166313\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d64e6a4\" data-id=\"d64e6a4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2dd7a0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2dd7a0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">INITIAL CONTACTS WITH FRANCE<\/h2><p>France\u2019s history with the Knights of Columbus dates back to World War I, when the American army was sent to reinforce allied troops in Europe. As part of that effort, numerous supply stations and shelters were set up in France to assist the troops and local populations.<br \/>At the end of November 1918, the Knights of Columbus held a Te Deum mass that drew thousands of believers to L\u2019\u00c9glise de la Madeleine (Church of St. Mary Magdalene), along with France\u2019s senior civilian, military and religious authorities.<br \/>Pilgrimages were organized to various French sites such as Lourdes or the Saint Martin route in Tours.<br \/>The congregation in Verdun presented the Knights of Columbus with a relic of an ostensorium in tribute to the Knights&rsquo; active presence during WW I.<br \/>Marshal Ferdinand Foch, a devout Catholic and war hero, was an honorary member of the Knights of Columbus.<br \/>In 1919, several hundred Knights embarked upon a pilgrimage to visit France (Paris, Versailles, Verdun and Metz) and to meet with religious and lay leaders.<br \/>On this occasion, the French Republic awarded the Legion of Honor to the greater Knights of Columbus family, in appreciation for services rendered during the First World War.<br \/>In November 2017, to commemorate 100 years of its presence in France, the Knights of Columbus sponsored the production of a major sound and lights show, entitled Dame de C\u0153ur, designed to celebrate Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral and the relevance of its cultural and spiritual message.<br \/>Knights of Columbus encourages the French to continually strive to assimilate their spiritual and intellectual heritage, not as a source of pride, but as part of their duty to educate other nations.<br \/>ESTABLISHED PRESENCE IN FRANCE<br \/>Other Catholic leaders in France have subsequently worked with the Knights of Columbus (such as Jean Vanier and Professor Jerome Lejeune).<br \/>Since 2013, Knights of Columbus has sponsored several hundred veterans and wounded military personnel for the International Military Pilgrimage to Lourdes. This participation facilitated initial contacts with French laypeople.<br \/>The establishment of the first Knights of Columbus councils in France was officially announced in August 2016 at the Annual Convention in Toronto.<br \/>To date, fourteen parish councils have been set up in France with about 220 members in eight dioceses.<br \/>Numerous other projects are being developed under the impetus of a passionate commitment to community service and missionary discipleship.<br \/>The founder\u2019s vision is relevant still today: serving families, supporting priests and the parish, and promoting evangelization.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element

FRIENDSHIP<\/h2><p>In 2013, a group of friends in France, including priests and laymen, committed to serving the Church and encouraged by their bishops, contacted the Knights of Columbus and its leader, Carl Anderson.<br \/>Shaped by the teachings of Jean Paul II, inspired by Scouting, guided by a spirit of sportsmanship, and sharing a strong international vision for the Catholic Church, they sought to establish an enculturated Knights of Columbus presence in France.<br \/>The key was to present Father McGivney\u2019s vision to Catholic men in France: a simple and tangible commitment to serving people in our parishes and communities through missionary discipleship.<br \/>On August 4, 2016\u2014the feast day of St. John Vianney\u2014the establishment of the first five councils in France was officially announced at the 134th Knights of Columbus Annual Convention in
