We live in awesome times!

From Supreme Knight Carl Anderson “This morning, Pope Benedict reminded America’s clergy that the ‘secret of the impressive growth of the Church in the United States was a ‘unity of vision and purpose – rooted in faith and a spirit of constant conversion and self-sacrifice,’ and held up as a prime example our founder, Father Michael J. McGivney. “

At 1.7 million strong and growing, we are the world’s largest Catholic family service fraternal organization and prayer is our sword against the foes of church and state. By joining the Knights, you increase our power in numbers – the power of prayer and strength in purpose on our mission of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism.

There are 6 reasons to become a Knight stated on the back of every form 100. Do you know them? These speak for themselves. We should know these by heart and offer them up freely.

1) 1.7 million brothers in 12,000 local councils covering US, Canada, Mexico, Philippines, Central America, Carribean (and now Iraq). We are the largest Catholic family services fraternal organization.

2) Opportunities in charity and fraternity for service to the Church, communities and less fortunate.

3) Your active participation serves as a school of leadership to enable you to develop qualities that enhance your strengths and abilities

4) Sense of belonging in an organization that shares your religious beliefs, brings together like-minded men joined in a common cause and develops life-long friendships.

5) Excellent insurance

6) KofC are first in support of Our Holy Father, bishops and priests to preserve traditional values in the face of attacks against family, the aged, and the unborn.

When you meet the next Catholic gentlemen who is “knightly-challenged”, invite them to join us in our supreme mission of family service.

Remind them it is more than just a council or an assembly; membership in the Knights of Columbus truly is the experience of a lifetime.

Vivat Jesus!
