The Knights of Columbus recently celebrated its one millionth distributed coat as part of the fraternal organization's 'Coats for Kids' program. The coats are given to needy children.
The Knights of Columbus has donated a total of one million coats through its Coats for Kids program, the Catholic fraternal organization announced on Monday, November 6. The millionth coat was distributed as one of nearly 1,000 coats given to underprivileged children attending five Catholic schools in Denver, Colorado, said the organization in a press release. The Knights of Columbus also donated $10,000 to each of the five schools to celebrate the millionth-coat milestone.
For the last six years, Knights of Columbus councils have distributed over 100,000 coats to children, a figure that is on pace to double for 2023, said the Knights of Columbus. Michael McGivney, a priest in New Haven, Connecticut, founded the Knights of Columbus in 1882. McGivney was beatified and given the titled 'blessed' in October 2020.
