CHARITY, UNITY, FRATERNITY,
AND PATRIOTISM
Knights of Columbus are Catholic gentlemen committed
to the exemplification of charity, unity, fraternity, patriotism, and
defense of the priesthood. The Order is consecrated to the Blessed Virgin
Mary. The Order is unequivocal in its loyalty to the Pope, the Vicar of
Christ on earth. It is firmly committed to the protection of human life,
from conception to natural death, and to the preservation and defense of the
family. It was on these bedrock principles that the Order was founded over a
century ago and remains true to them today.
As you look into our local council here in Anderson, you’ll find men willing to fulfill the central mission of the Order and our Catholic faith. We are continually striving to set an example of our faith in charitable works; serving the Church and unified in following its teachings; supporting brother Knights in their temporal and spiritual needs; acting for the good of our country; and giving aid to widows, orphans, the sick and the poor.
VOLUNTEER SERVICE, CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS AND INSURANCE
As the Order has grown, its benevolence has
multiplied. The Order continues to break all previous records for charitable
contributions and volunteer service. In the past decade, the Knights donated
nearly $1 billion to numerous charitable causes and nearly 400 million hours
of volunteer service. Father McGivney's founding vision for the Order also
included establishing a life insurance program to provide for the widows and
orphans of deceased members. The Order's insurance program has expanded
substantially to serve more effectively the Knights' growing membership.
Year after year, the Knights of Columbus has earned the highest possible
quality ratings for financial soundness from A.M. Best and Standard &
Poor's. The Order provides the highest quality insurance and annuity
products to its members, along with many other fraternal benefits. New
financial investment opportunities and long term care insurance have
significantly expanded the original vision of providing for the Knights and
their families.
WITHIN THE PARISH AND COMMUNITY
Our local council, made up of more than 70 men from our parish, is often
the silent force behind many of the fund raising and social functions
supporting the parish and school. We are also active in supporting other
ministries including Martha’s Ministry, Altar Servers, Sacred Heart School
and staff and always happy to lend a hand when it’s needed. In addition,
we raised over $1,500 this year for local programs supporting the mentally
disabled and built baseball dugouts for Bishop Quinn HS. To continue this
important support for our parish family and community, we need your help.
Please consider joining our fellowship, pursuing this unique ministry and
enjoying all the benefits the Knights of Columbus has to offer both you and
your family. Join us at any of our Sunday breakfasts, as our guest, to find
out more about the Knights of Columbus and how to join. If you want more
