Insurance

Our Guarantees Set Us Apart

Knights of Columbus life insurance offers something precious few other financial products can – guarantees. As long as you pay your premiums, the policy proceeds will be there for your beneficiaries should something happen to you. We call that peace of mind, and that’s what we offer with our every product in our portfolio.

We guarantee the cash value in your whole life policies will be there.

We guarantee the rates on your term insurance.

We guarantee our retirement products will provide a stream of income when you need it.

On top of those product guarantees, I guarantee that I will offer professional, high-quality service that you would expect from our organization.

Our Order is among the highest rated life insurers in North America. AM Best has rated the Knights of Columbus “A++, Superior” for 37 consecutive years. This shows our track record for excellence and security. I would suggest that a principal reason that we were able to achieve those accolades is because we remain steadfastly committed to the vision of Father Michael J. McGivney by providing life insurance by brother Knights for brother Knights.

That commitment is an essential core value of the Knights of Columbus, and our core values permeate all levels of our organization. These principles for marketing are summed up by our Golden Rule: “In all my professional relationships, I pledge myself to the following rule of conduct: I shall, in light of all conditions surrounding those I serve, render that service which, under the same circumstances, I would apply to myself.”

Let’s talk soon to discuss how our products can bring that peace of mind to you and your family.

Let’s get together as soon as possible.

Fraternally, Your Brother and Field Agent,

Culture of Life Report August 2015

Brother Knights,

On July 12th Adam Struck and I arrived at the Bishop Gallegos Maternity Home and met with Lenore Mullarkey, the Director, at which time we presented her with the proceeds from the Pasta for Life Dinner – a check in the amount of $1,500.

A grateful Lenore gave us a tour of the Home and explained how the Home is really a product of the love, dedication, and personal commitment of so many Catholics. Her voice expressed the hope that this commitment will continue. She asked if Adam and I would convey to all of you the need the Home has for dedicated individuals, who can give their efforts to the Home.

If any of my fellow Knights have special skills, and the desire to perform good works, could you please let me know?

The maternity home needs, from time to time, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, roofers, painters, and tile setters. I am compiling a list for the Home.

Please let me know if you have the necessary skills and are available when the need arises.

I can be reached at: 916.205.5047 or garciazemail@gmail.com

Please take a moment to reflect on the following:

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead. (James 2:14)

Brother Knights, let us continue with our good works!

God Bless,
Hector Garcia
Culture of Life Director

Grand Knight’s Message, July 2015

Dearest Brother Knights and Knight Families,

It is my honor to have taken over the reins as Grand Knight of Sacramento Council 953 for this next Columbian Year. I thank you all for your trust in my leadership and I promise to do my best.

I would like to share with you my view of the role of the Knights of Columbus in our community. We start with Lord, “make me an instrument of your peace . . .” These words taken from the prayer of St. Francis appear at first glance so simplistic that often times we miss its true meaning. But, when we think of the Knights of Columbus, these words come to life in the works of mercy that we put into practice. For example, when one looks to our programs and charities, they are reflective in Corporal Works of Mercy (feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, visit the imprisoned, bury the dead). Likewise, when one looks at Spiritual Works of Mercy (instruct the ignorant, counsel the doubtful, admonish the sinners, bear wrongs patiently, forgive the offenses willingly, comfort the afflicted, pray for the living and the dead), we think of our rosary prayers, our memorial masses, our Lenten sacrifices, and our youth and our commitment to their Catholic education. We do these works because we believe in the Church’s mission and in Christ’s message of love to all humanity.

With that said and in continuing to carrying out these Works of Mercy and the Church’s mission, it is truly imperative that we are strong in numbers. Therefore, one of our biggest goals will be recruitment this Columbian Year. As such, you will be blessed with a shoulder tap and an invitation to help with our recruitment efforts in this endeavor. Additionally, we hope to resurrect our fallen Saints & Sinners Golf Tournament for Spring 2016.

So, my Worthy Brothers, I look forward to seeing you at our meetings, at our fundraising dinners, and of course, I look forward to seeing all of us roll up our sleeves and get the hard and rewarding work done in making it another successful Columbian Year.

Vivat Jesus!
Lewis Muñoz
