About Council #456
Knights of Columbus Council #456 draws members from the four parishes in Lafayette, Indiana: St. Mary Cathedral & St. Ann Pastorate, and St. Boniface & St. Lawrence Pastorate.
Founded just after the turn of the 20th Century, Council #456 has been providing Catholic men a framework for living more faithfully as Catholic leaders in works of charity and fraternity for 120 years!
We continue that tradition today, providing members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, their communities’ familes and young people.
Our Founder
The founder of the Knights of Columbus, Father Michael J. McGivney was 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.
In his Apostolic Letter that was read at the Mass for Beatification on Oct. 31, 2020, Pope Francis stated that Blessed Michael McGivney’s “zeal for the proclamation of the Gospel and generous concern for the needs of his brothers and sisters made him an outstanding witness of Christian solidarity and fraternal assistance.” The Holy Father set his annual feast day for Aug. 13, the day between Father McGivney’s birthday (in 1852) and the day he entered eternal life (in 1890).
