The Knights of Columbus, founded by a young parish priest now on the path to sainthood, helps strengthen men, their families, their parishes and their communities and has done so since 1882. Today, there are more than 1.9 million members across the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Knights of Columbus stands as the strong right arm of the Church and challenges members to grow in their faith through our Faith In Action programs.\u00a0 When implemented properly, programs become our recruitment and retention tools.\u00a0 We are not only recruiting the man, but the Family as well. It is important for a Husband and Wife to stand together in support of the Knights, not only for council success, but for its growth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS ARE\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n MEN WHO LEAD – The world needs Catholic men to step up and live out their faith. The Knights of Columbus helps men to answer that call to do more, and to be more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n MEN WHO PROTECT – Your family deserves the Catholic difference. The Knights of Columbus offers top quality financial products to help you protect your future, all backed by our ethical and faith-first business practices.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n MEN WHO SERVE – You\u2019re ready to make an impact. The Knights of Columbus helps men put their faith into action and give back \u2014 in their communities, in their parishes and on a global scale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n MEN WHO DEFEND – The Knights of Columbus has the resources you need to stand up for life, liberty, and family. Join the Knights and add your voice our nearly two million members upholding the faith and the truth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Given this\u2026 why wouldn\u2019t a Catholic gentleman want to join the Knights of Columbus, and why wouldn\u2019t a parish want a council who supports these ideals in their community.\u00a0 Now, more than ever, our homes, families, friends and communities need more Knights and more councils.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n THE MISSION: \u201cSiempre Adelante, Nunca Atras\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n a.
