Our Story

Welcome! We are the Knights of Columbus Council 7880 located here at Ave Maria Catholic parish in Parker, Colorado.

We are a band of brothers, a network of men in communities around the world dedicated to doing good in the service of God and our neighbor.

Here are just a sample of what we provide

SERVICE, SUPPORT & STABILITY

  • Support the parish with its needs.
  • Help meet the needs of those in the local community.
  • Support programs that benefit people with intellectual disabilities.
  • Aid victims of natural disasters and other catastrophic events, local and worldwide.

The Knights of Columbus was founded by Father Michael J. McGivney a central figure in the growth of Catholicism in America, and he remains a model today. His example of charity, evangelization and empowerment of the laity continues to bear fruit and guide Knights of Columbus around the world.

Just as those in need sought Father McGivney’s help in life, understanding that he was a “Good Samaritan” figure, more than 2 million members of the Knights of Columbus and their families, and many others around the world, continue to seek out Father McGivney as a heavenly helper in times of need today. His heroic virtue was recognized in 2008 by the Vatican, which named him a Venerable Servant of God, and on May 26, 2020, Pope Francis approved a decree for a miracle attributed to his intercession, opening the way for Father McGivney to be beatified on Oct. 31, 2020. A second approved miracle is needed for him to be canonized as a saint of the Catholic Church.
