CHARITY

 Our Catholic faith teaches us to "Love thy neighbor as thyself."
Members of the Knights of Columbus show love for their
neighbors through numerous ways in serving our parishes
and communities.
These include numerous actions such as:
Conducting food drives to support local
food pantries or "Food for Families."
Volunteering at Special Olympics.
Providing "Coats for Kids."
Donating wheelchairs to people
without mobility at home and abroad.
Aid victims of natural disasters and other
catastrophic events, local and worldwide.
Save lives through initiatives such as
the "Ultrasound Program." and so much more.

Knights recognize that our mission, and our faith in God,
compels us to action. There is no better way to experience
love and compassion than by helping those in need, a call
we answer every day. By each of us working together, we
have been able to donate more than $1.4 billion and 664
million volunteer hours to worthy causes within the past decade.		 UNITY

None of us is as good as all of us. Members of
the Knights of Columbusall know that - together,
we can accomplish far more than any of us
could individually. So we stick together we
support one another.

That doesn't mean that we always agree or that t
here is never a difference of opinion.

It does mean that - as a Knight of Columbus - you
can count on the support and encouragement of
your brother Knights as you work to make life
better in your parish and community.
FRATERNITY

Venerable Michael J. McGivney founded t
he Knights of Columbus,

in large part, to provide assistance to the widows
and children left behind when the family
breadwinner died - often prematurely.

The Order's top-rated insurance program
continues to do this today, as do the
good works of individual Knights.

Through the Knights of Columbus, men are
able to band together to help one another in
various times of distress, sickness, and death.
 PATRIOTISM

Members of the Knights of Columbus,
be they Americans, Canadians,
Mexicans, Cubans, Filipinos, Poles,
or Dominicans, are patriotic citizens.

We are proud of our devotion to God
and country, and believe in standing up
for both. Whether it's in public or private,
the Knights remind the world
that Catholics support their nations.
