Knights of Columbus Council 16373 Saint Ladislas, Westlake
Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism are the values that form our foundation.
Our success, as a fraternal order and an insurance provider, would not have been possible if not for the Knights of Columbus’ enduring commitment to integrity, professionalism, excellence and respect. Consistently upholding these tenets has earned us a designation as a World’s Most Ethical Company® by the Ethisphere® Institute.
Service and charity are at the heart of the Knights. Founded in 1882 by Father Michael J.
McGivney to meet the needs of immigrants, refugees and families suffering from the death of a breadwinner, the Knights began as a small service organization and has grown into a worldwide financial and charitable organization.
