Irish Catholics immagrants in New England states worked long hours, dangerous jobs, and often died leaving family behind with no financial support. The only way to have any kind of insurance in the mid to late 1800s was to be a Mason. Well, that's pretty much verboten (yes I know Mason's don't keep Catholics from joining, just the Vatican has a problem with a society that was secretive, a debate for another day).
As a result, Fr. Michael J. McGivney decided to start a Catholic fraternity as a mutual benefit society which grew to the order it is today. Yeah, insurance is still a thing but not a prerequisite to be a member.
