What is the Catholic Difference?

Dear Brother Daniel,

Does your work define you? Is your job just something you do, or a vocation that you cherish?

 

Across the United States and Canada, more than a thousand brother Knights have found their calling as field agents, assistant general agents and general agents. 

 

By serving Knights of Columbus members and their families, agents carry on the mission of Blessed Michael McGivney, and help bring valuable financial protection to hundreds of thousands of Catholic families. 

 

Because of the trust our members put in us, and because of our continued success, we are searching for qualified individuals to serve as full-time field agents in their communities. 

 

A career as a Knights of Columbus agent is a career unlike any other.  Our Agents have a remarkable opportunity to “bring their faith to work” as they serve their members, their parishes, their communities, while providing financially for their own family.

Aid and Support After Pregnancy

Give to the ASAP (Aid and Support After Pregnancy) initiative today to support effective pro-life initiatives.

Dear Brother Daniel,

Last week, Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly gave us an inspiring message during his opening remarks at our annual Supreme Convention in Nashville.  Mr. Kelly celebrated that Roe v. Wade was recently overturned and also emphasized that now, more than ever, mothers and children need our unwavering support.  

He said, “The end of Roe is a crucial milestone. But we cannot mistake it for the end of abortion. We can hope it’s the beginning of the end.  And as Knights, we must push forward with all the courage and compassion we can summon.  As much as we’ve done, there is still so much more to do.  We must increase our efforts on every front. …With Roe gone, many mothers will still experience fear and uncertainty.  Many will be tempted to seek an abortion in another state. But the Knights can point them in the right direction, toward life.  The best thing we can do is redouble our support for pregnancy resource centers.”

Knights of Columbus Charities has a distinguished legacy of defending life.  We’ve played a leading role in national and state marches for life since they began. We’ve help place over 1,500 ultrasound machines in local pregnancy centers.  Today, we must continue to lead as defenders of life through our new initiative, ASAP (Aid and Support After Pregnancy). This program will provide support to local pregnancy resource centers and maternity homes allowing them to directly meet the needs of mothers and children in their community. Your gift today to our United in Charity Fund allows us to answer growing needs and allows us to be agile and adapt if needed.

This fraternal year, the Knights of Columbus pledge $5M in support of local pregnancy centers, maternity homes, and other organizations that give direct assistance to new mothers and their babies. Our first step in reaching this goal is to raise $1M by August 31. To date we are nearly 20% of the way there.

People often say that pro-lifers only care about babies, but as this initiative demonstrates, we are there for mother and child. The need is great. Can I count on you to act today?

DONATE NOW

Sincerely,

RONALD F. SCHWARZ
Knights of Columbus Supreme Treasurer

In our meeting tonight, Jerry Nehl pointed out that the dinner for our 30th Anniversary of our council is not this Sunday, but it will be September 18.  My mistake in looking at my original notes.  I apologize for any inconvenience.  I have attached pictures of tonight's installation of officers.  Notes from tonight's meeting will be posted in the upcoming days.  Congratulations to our DD, David Kandlbinder for his award for Outstanding District Deputy--well deserved David!  

YBiC,
