WHAT IS BEING DESCRIBED ARE JUST A FEW OF THE ACTIVITIES SPONSORED AND DIRECTED BY THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS!
Father Ted is taking a huge leap of faith and is asking us, The MEN OF ST RAPHAEL, to join him and start our own council. WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND A SPECIAL INVITATION FOR YOU TO VISIT WITH US IN THE WELCOMING CENTER AFTER MASS. HEAR FROM FELLOW PARISHONERS WHO HAVE ALREADY DECIDED TO JOIN THE NEW ST RAPHAEL KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS COUNCIL AND ALSO VISIT WITH CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE KNIGHTS.
THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS IS A CATHOLIC MEN’S FRATERNAL SERVICE ORGANIZATION THAT FOCUSES ON CHURCH, COMMUNITY, FAMILY, YOUTH ACTIVITIES, and COUNCIL.
The Knights of Columbus have four guiding principles
- CHARITY
- UNITY
- FRATERNITY
- PATRIOTISM
You see Knights active in all areas. Eucharistic Ministers, ushers, readers, commentators, serving on Parish councils, and many other church and civic endeavors. The Knights are always ready to “lend a hand” when called upon.
The Knights of Columbus played a key role in getting the words “Under God” added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954. Today this law is again under attack by the ruling of our courts AND WE ARE ACTIVE IN TRYING TO KEEP “UNDER GOD” IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
JOIN Father Ted, Father Pat and Deacon’s Chuck Woods and John McHugh who are KNIGHT’s
All practicing Catholic men 18 years and older
are invited to join.
