The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is the new name of the Knights of Columbus Museum. Established in 1982 as a nonprofit institution, the Center's mission is to showcase the life, legacy and vision of Blessed Michael McGivney (1852-1890), the Connecticut Catholic priest who founded the Knights of Columbus. Through presentations of history, art, and faith, the Center welcomes visitors to learn of Father McGivney's ministry and example as well as explore and reflect on the history and achievements of the international fraternal and service organization he established in 1882 on the principles of unity and charity.
