The Daughters of Isabella is an auxilliary to the Knights of Columbus for the purpose of uniting Catholic women in a sisterhood working together in Unity, Friendship and Charity. The first Daughters of Isabella circle was formed in New Haven, Connecticut in 1897 as a female counterpart to the Rev. John Russell Council of the Knights of Columbus. Our patroness and namesake is Queen Isabel of Spain. A member must be a Catholic women over the age of 16.

The Order of the Daughters of Isabella is a charitable organization of Catholic women founded on the principle of its motto: Unity, Friendship and Charity.

• As Catholic women and disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to minister with love, respect and justice to all humanity regardless of age, race, nationality or background. 
• We recognize that our mission and faith in God calls us to experience love, compassion and mercy by helping those in need.
• We demonstrate our commitment to God's people by actively living our faith and by being a positive influence in our communities and the world.
