Father Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus in 1882. The founder chose the name “Knights of Columbus” because he felt that, as a Catholic Group, it should relate to Christopher Columbus, the Catholic discoverer of America. The organization provides members and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young people.

Magnify Young Adult Ministry

       We want to build up the church with Young Adults to set the world on fire.  We want to provide a place for people to be loved, belong, and create authentic friendships with other young adults. We want to build-create-develop a positive, loving community for OLPH and the community of Old Town Scottsdale. 

       After Mass or some time in Eucharistic Adoration, MAGNIFY Young Adults have the oppotunity to pray together and then head off to a favorite hangout for brunch and fellowship.  What better way to spend a Saturday morning than with Jesus and great friends.  Magnify will meet up and go to a brunch place nearby. Some weeks we might go out hiking before or Mass or a Holy Hour or a combination of all of the above.
