GRAND KNIGHT’S MESSAGE
To my Worthy Brothers and their Loving Families;
As we celebration Easter, it’s important to remember the sacrifice made by our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. Through his death we have an opportunity for eternal life. What we do with this opportunity is dependent on us. Some people don’t do a thing, and it is those souls (among others) we pray for, that they may hear God’s call. Others hear a call of service… through vocations, or through organizations such as the Knights of Columbus.
When the Gulf of Mexico was hit by hurricane Katrina, the K of C immediately donated 10.6 million dollars to help the victims and their families. Eventually more than 46 million dollars were donated (from the Knights) within months of the tragedy. The K of C was primarily responsible for the opening of catholic schools 6 months before the first public school was opened. These figures are only the monetary donations and do not include the countless volunteer hours from Brother Knights and their Families. It’s information such as this that makes me proud to be a Knight.
Our organization is strong and steadfast. Our foundation is built on the principles that have carried the Knights through the centuries. It’s these core values that call us to help others and It’s these same values that help help us do God’s work. Please keep in mind that Christ died and rose so that we may live. Let’s live in his spirit and do his works for each other.
