Our Founding Father

	Our Founder, Father Michael J. McGivney chose the name "Knights of Columbus" because, as a Catholic Order, he felt we should relate to Christopher Columbus, the Catholic discoverer of America. "Columbus" would emphasize that it
was Catholics who discovered the North American continent. At the same time "Knights" would signify that the membership embodied noble ideals of spirituality and service to church, country, and our fellowmen.

About Our Council
St. Clare Council was founded the 28th of February 2001 through the efforts of Ed Tweed and Father Colin Macdonald. It is named after St. Clare, who was the Fonder of the order of nuns know as "Poor Clare". The St. Clare order was founded with the assistance of St. Francis of Assisi. The St. Clare Council works closely with the St. Clare Parish in the City of Roseville and Antelope, providing volunteer services to the parish and various charities throughout the community.
