Question 1

General Description

Accepted Answer

The Knights of Columbus is the largest Catholic fraternal service organization in the world. There are over 13,000 Councils and more than 1.7 million members worldwide. We have been called the strong right arm of the Church, praised by popes and world leaders for the support of the Church, programs of evangelization and Catholic Education, civic involvement and those in need. We are Catholic men 18 and older who are committed to making the community a better place.

The Knights are about enhancing their faith and protecting and nurturing family life. Our order is based on three principles: Charity, Unity and Fraternity.

Question 2

Knight’s Council at St. Benedict Church

Accepted Answer

Confirmation Breakfast: Our St. John Bosco Council also supports the youth of St. Benedict church by providing a pancake breakfast  for the boy candidates for Confirmation, their fathers and male sponsors at their annual Boys’ Confirmation Breakfast. Beginning in 2011, we look forward to offering the same support in the way of a pancake breakfast in collaboration with another parish group that sponsors the annual Girls’ Confirmation Breakfast held for the girls candidates for Confirmation, their mothers and women sponsors. At both breakfasts, we present each candidate for Confirmation with a rosary. Outreach: In our efforts to support community outreach, our council assists St. Vincent de Paul with both manpower and financial aid. Our pro-life initiatives include participation in the 40 Days for Life with a commitment of 1 hour of witnessing at a designated location, witnessing on the annual Life Chain Sunday each October and financial support of the bus rental to Ottawa for the March for Life each May. We have supported our troops with the Tim card program, conducted a Rosary Sunday and helped the Squires with their Blue mass. This year, we are sponsoring a seminarian.

Question 3

How does one become a Knight?

Accepted Answer

To become a full fledged Knight you need to go through a degree for each one of the principles that outline its meaning and how we use them. An opportunity for admission to the Fourth degree of Patriotism, which is the ceremonial arm of our order, is also available to any Knight that has completed their Third degree.
