Fr. Richard Siok
Chaplain
613-233-1125 The chaplain of a Knights of Columbus council must recognize that the Order is a Catholic lay organization founded by a priest. Father McGivney founded the Order, to be sure, but it was administered and supported by Catholic laymen. In our day, especially with the Second Vatican Council and Revised Code of Canon Law in 1983, specifying clearly and unequivocally the rights and duties of the Catholic laity, the Knights of Columbus itself, as a fraternal society, has its own special role to play in the Church. The chaplain, who always is a priest, must recognize this fact and rejoice in it.
