knights of columbus
our mission
Founded on the principles of charity, unity and fraternity, the Knights of Columbus was established in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant pastor of St. Mary’s Church in New Haven, Conn., and a group of parishioners. Their intent? To bring financial aid and assistance to the sick, disabled and needy members and their families. This simple gathering has expanded to a worldwide organization that assists wherever trouble exists in the world.
The Wallis Knights of Columbus seeks to support the local parish of Guardian Angels Church, and the community, with special assistance to the Brother Knights and their widows after they pass. We provide support for area organizations such as the Scouts, pregnancy centers in Austin and Fort Bend counties, scholarships, vocations with support for seminarians, and more! We are always seeking good, Catholic men to join our group to help us in our mission.
