Founded by Blessed Michael McGivney in 1882, the Knights of Columbus is the premier lay

Catholic men’s organization. Guided by the principles of charity, unity and fraternity, we build

lifelong relationships with our members and families. We are multigenerational and

international. We offer formation, mutual aid and financial security to members through our

charity, products and outreach. We aspire to invite every Catholic man to join the Knights of

Columbus and to extend our charitable reach as widely as possible.

The Knights of Columbus empowers Catholic men to live their faith and serve their family,

parish, community and country.

The San Ysidro Council of the Knights of Columbus serves the Parish of San Ysidro in

Corrales and the surrounding communities through its Faith in Action program activities. The

Council supports Parish spiritual and material endeavors; collects food and clothing for

vulnerable people; supports Catholic education; promotes the sanctity of life; and supports

community health, cultural, and educational endeavors.

The Council raises funds for the Parish and charitable organizations through monthly bingo

events at the San Ysidro Parish Hall on the third Saturday of each month except the months

of December and January. Doors open at 5 PM and games are played from 6 PM to 9 PM.
