There is no better way to experience love and
compassion than by helping those in need,
a call Knights answer every day.
Knights banded together can accomplish more
than any of us could accomplish individually
in support of our Church and priests.
Knights socialize together and take care of each other –
we have each others’ back.
Members of the Knights of Columbus are proud
of our devotion to God and country,
and believe in standing up for both.
