Our Vision
This band of brothers stands united and dedicated to doing good works in the service of God and our neighbor.
Our Mission
Formed around our core commitments to:
Evangelization & Faith Formation efforts that are true to the doctrines of the Catholic Church.
Defending Right to Life & Religious Freedom issues.
Pastoral support, parish family & youth enrichment.
Charitable service to our surrounding community.
In the spirit of one of the Beatitudes, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”
Principles
All the good works we do are informed by our four core principles:
Charity
Our Catholic faith teaches us to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Members of the Knights of Columbus show love for their neighbors by conducting food drives and donating the food to local soup kitchens and food pantries, by volunteering at community events, and by supporting, both spiritually and materially, mothers who choose life for their babies. 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.
Unity
None of us is as good as all of us. Members of the Knights of Columbus all know that – together – we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. So we stick together…we support one another. That doesnʼt mean that we always agree or that there 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
The Venerable Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to provide assistance to the widows and children left behind when the family breadwinner died – often prematurely. The Orderʼs top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do individual Knights, who last year gave more than 10 million hours of their time to assist sick and/or disabled members and their families. In the Knights of Columbus, we watch out for and take care of one another.
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 itʼs in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens.
