What is a Knight? By Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly
A Knight lives by faith and leads by creative courage. Faith and courage compel us to be men of charity.
We feed hungry families, give coats to kids, protect the vulnerable from catastrophe and defend the unborn. We are servants of Christ who see his face in those we serve.
Faith and courage inspire us to be men of unity. Our fidelity to Christ is the source of our unity, and we seek him in his Church and the sacraments he’s given us.
We strengthen and protect the family – the domestic church – helping men build strong marriages and raise faithful children, while providing them the opportunity to align their financial decisions with their Catholic faith. We strive to inspire men to embrace their vocation to heroic generosity and self-sacrifice.
Finally, faith and courage bind us together in fraternity.
At a time when men are increasingly isolated, we offer solidarity. At a time when men are searching, we offer meaning and mission. Fraternity amplifies all we do. It broadens our charity and deepens our unity.
So, what does it mean to be a Knight? It means a life of faith in action, a life of boldness in brotherhood, a life of integrity. It means bringing every aspect of life in line with our principles.
Catholic men are looking for nothing less. In the Knights of Columbus, they will find it – JOIN TODAY!!!
