Community Service since 1926
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 Special Olympics, 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 doesn’t 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 – 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 Order’s top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do the good works of individual Knights, who gave more than 75.6 million service hours in 2017, illustrating how Catholics serve each other in fraternity and mercy.
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 and are amongst the greatest citizens.
Grand Knight’s report:
The Catholic Church is really an amazing thing. You can always look back
and say the men in leadership of the Catholic Church were not always the holiest.
But, the church is amazing. All the pundit had the new Pope coming from the
Philippines, Cardinal Luis Antonia Tagle or Ghanaian Cardinal, Perter Turkson. But,
the conclave gave us American Cardinal, Leo XIV.
Now, I am not saying that the church should have picked him because he is
American. What I am saying is that the Catholic Church is doing God’s will, not the
will of pundits or the people in the know. I know nothing of Pope Leo XIV’s views,
but I am excited to know where God has us headed now.
As for closer to home. We will have our regular meeting on Thursday, May
15, at 7pm. After the meeting, we will have refreshments and Brother Jay has
promised to teach me how to play cribbage. Now, I am not sure if he is just being
nice or if he plans to play for money at a later date and wants to create a new
donor. We hope many can show up for our meetings and get back into fellowship.
Our council needs this. We need all you.
We have some fun things planned for this summer. We are hosting a 2599
vs. 2454 rib cook off. That is right, Yreka vs. Weed. I want to beat them, and have
some fun with it. If nothing else gets you to a Knights of Columbus gathering, will
ribs and beer? I will use whatever I can use to tempt you.
As we have many older Knights in our council, find one and go visit them. I
will be going to one very soon. Just let them know that they are not forgotten.
Bring them communion if they don’t already have someone doing it. Just stop in
and say hello. God Bless
