The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal organization dedicated to charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. It was founded in 1882 by Father Michael J. McGivney, with a primary purpose of providing financial assistance and support to members and their families, as well as to engage in charitable works within the community.
The local Council was started at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in 1995 and is named after the former pastor, the late Father Joseph Donnelly, who became pastor in 1947 and began saving to fulfill his dream of having a parochial school in Highlands.
Before the school was completed, Father Donnelly also began elementary school classes in the basement of the church in 1951 with education of the first 72 students by the Sisters of St. Francis. The first graduating class of 22 students received their diplomas from Fr. Donnelly in 1956. Fr. Donnelly served the parish for 20 years until his death December 8, 1961.
