The Knights of Columbus Tower at the National Shrine

In 1957, the Knights of Columbus donated $1 million for the construction of the 329-foot bell tower at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC-- a tower that became known as "the Knights' Tower." The Order subsequently donated a 56-bell carillon to the shrine and provides annual grant funding for the National Shrine's operation.
