I'm not sure how Knights are distributed around the world. There are some 13,000 Knights councils in The USA, Canada, Mexico, The Philippines, Poland, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Panama, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Guatemala, Guam, and Saipan. Word is at least one other European country is interested in setting up councils now that Poland has come into the fold.

The Knights have contributed over $10M to Katrina relief and were the very first group to distribute money following 9-11. The Knights also have an insurance program second to none.

I have the joy of belonging to a very active council. If a council is not active or is more "recreational," council members have the power to turn it around so it becomes what our founder, Fr. Michael J. McGivney envisioned; an organization founded on Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism.

The Knights of COLUMBUS .... light bulb goes on.
OF COURSE, it wouldn't be anywhere but the "new world."
That never occurred to me before....took it for granted that the KofC was world-wide.

That is FANTASTIC that Poland is "in the fold." Equally FANTASTIC is that other European nations are interested.
Perhaps this is another legacy (the Poland part) of John Paul II and a tribute to our beloved PanzerPope.

Thank you for the information. It was MOST interesing.
