Knights of Columbus - Council 11091 functions as a local unit of the Knights of Columbus, a fraternal benefit organization. Located in Algonquin, Illinois, the council is a small, community-oriented unit within a larger order that traces its origins to the 19th century. The order was chartered in 1882 through the efforts of Father Michael J. McGivney, with the Connecticut legislature recognizing the fraternal society. The organization provides mutual aid and financial support to members and their families, particularly those who are sick, disabled, or in need. It also seeks to foster social and intellectual fellowship through educational, charitable, religious, and welfare activities. Globally, the Knights of Columbus has grown to thousands of councils and millions of members across several countries, and it supports economic security for families through life insurance, annuity, and long-term care programs.
