Knights TestimonialsPWhen I came to college I was eager to become more involved with my faith. I knew that there was an organization that helped out with the church in most every activity at my old church. They would host fundraisers, be leaders in the faith, and involved a brotherhood of men that lasted a lifetime. This organization was the Knights of Columbus and joining them as a member helped me be the catholic gentlemen that I was born to be. Through my time as a Knight, I have grown more in tune with my faith with the help of my brothers in Christ. Every day I am constantly growing deeper in my faith thanks to the accountability and brotherhood that the Knights of Columbus provides. We are more than just an organization that does good works; the Knights are a brotherhood of Catholic gentlemen who are ready to serve the Church at a moment's notice. Vivat Jesu. |
Our PrinciplesAll the good works we do are informed by our four core principles:
Charity - Our Catholic faith teaches us to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Members of the Knights of Columbus show love for their neighbors by conducting food drives and donating the food to local soup kitchens and food pantries, by volunteering at Special Olympics, and by supporting, both spiritually and materially, mothers who choose life for their babies. Knights recognize that our mission, and our faith in God, compels us to action. There is no better way to experience love and compassion than by helping those in need, a call we answer every day. Unity – None of us is as good as all of us. Members of the Knights of Columbus all know that – together – we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. So we stick together…we support one another. That doesn’t mean that we always agree or that there is never a difference of opinion. It does mean that – as a Knight of Columbus – you can count on the support and encouragement of your brother Knights as you work to make life better in your parish and community. Fraternity – The Venerable Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to provide assistance to the widows and children left behind when the family breadwinner died – often prematurely. The Order’s top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do individual Knights, who last year gave more than 10 million hours of their time to assist sick and/or disabled members and their families. In the Knights of Columbus, we watch out for and take care of one another. Patriotism – Members of the Knights of Columbus, be they Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Cubans, Filipinos, Poles, or Dominicans, are patriotic citizens. We are proud of our devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both. Whether it’s in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens. |
