Thanks to the efforts of Father Michael J. McGivney, assistant 
pastor of St. Mary’s Church in New Haven, CT and some of his parishioners, the Connecticut state legislature on March 29, 1882, officially chartered the Knights of Columbus as a fraternal benefit society. Throughout its history, the Knights of Columbus has been an effective advocate and defender of civil and religious rights for all. The organization has also contributed billions of dollars and millions of hours of volunteer service to charity worldwide.
Council 1943 has carried out the principals of charity started by Fr. McGivney by serving the Greater Mystic community for almost a century. The Reverend John F Murphy Council 1943 contributes thousands of hours of service and donates thousands of dollars to the Church and community every year.
