The Knights of Columbus is a Roman Catholic organization whose membership is confined to men affiliated with that church. Taking its name from the discoverer of America, it is interesting to note that the first Council to receive a charter was given the name of San Salvador, the island on which Columbus landed in 1492. The moving spirit in promoting the birth of the order was the Reverend M. J. McGivney, then curate of Saint Mary’s Church in New Haven, Connecticut He was ably assisted by the Reverend P. P. Lawler, Cornelius T. Driscoll, Michael Curran, William M. Geary, Bartholomew Healey, Daniel Colwell, John T. Gorrigan, Dr. M. C. O'Conner, and James T. Mulligan.
