The Knights of Columbus have made enormous contributions to the Church, the Order, and their communities, and have left a remarkable record of service and achievement. In Illinois, that record began with the establishment of the first Illinois council- Chicago Council #182 - on July 10, 1896, and has expanded to include over 500 Illinois councils today. Telling the story of the Illinois Knights of Columbus history has largely been neglected and much of their legacy has already been lost to the tides of time. This book preserves the past and provides examples of how Knights have responded in faith to our many gifts from God and offers reflection and inspiration for growth in faith-based leadership.
