WHY BE A KNIGHT OF COLUMBUS? Being a Knight helps us be better Catholics. Our modern secular society is often not very religion-friendly. The pressure to give your faith short shrift can be very strong. As Knights, we rely on one another to help keep our faith strong, and to establish meaningful ties with our bishops and priests. Our founder was a Catholic priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, who instilled in us a deep devotion to Christ and his church. Being a Knight helps us be better husbands and fathers. When your children see the work that you do to help those in need and the effort you devote to supporting your local Catholic Church, they will be learning a valuable and lasting lesson. Being a Knight gives us an opportunity to help those in need in very special ways. One of the biggest charitable activities for Virginia Knights is our support for people with intellectual disabilities. Being a Knight means working to build a Culture of Life. Over the last several years, weve partnered with the Supreme Council to purchase ultrasound machines that are now saving lives at pregnancy resource centers, and were planning to add several more. Being a Knight brings with it the opportunity for friendship and fraternity with a whole new family of like-minded brother Knights who share your faith, your values and your aspirations for living a life thats worthy of a follower of Christ. We work hard to make a difference in our families, parishes and communities. CONTACT JIM GL0VER: [email protected] OR FACEBOOK: JIM GLOVER, FOR MORE INFORMATION.
