Our Story
Let’s face it. We live in a world that commercializes almost everything, especially Christmas. We all know that the true meaning of Christmas is Christ, so we want to help all Christians to Keep Christ in Christmas!
In 2005, we, the Knights of Columbus Council 11091 in Algonquin, Illinois, launched a humble campaign using car magnets in the shape of the Nativity Scene. After countless hours of prep work, discussion, and prayer by the committee, the project almost did not get approval by our council at our general meeting. We barely had enough money to order an initial manufacturing run of our magnets. Turns out the response exceeded our expectations! We sold out that first year, and received a letter of congratulations from none other than Supreme Knight Carl Anderson. Best of all, our council was ecstatic that we didn’t lose money.
Things scaled up as we found several KC councils to distribute magnets to councils and other groups in their regions.

In 2009, the Knights of Columbus presented Cardinal Daniel Nicholas DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston and Houston with the 1 Millionth Magnet distributed by the program. The movement so far has raised over $3.5 million for Knights of Columbus Councils, Catholic parishes, parish youth groups, scouting organizations, and other Christian groups worldwide. |
