The Knights held their annual dinner last week, and each year I recap the activities and accomplishments in a slideshow presentation.

The Knights of Columbus is a family organization. To help share this story, we have released a new video on social media and YouTube geared toward wives and encouraging them to invite their husbands to become Knights. This video is available for download from the Supply Store and can be used by councils on their
Words from a hymn from last Sunday struck me. I believe each Knight (and indeed, each parishioner) can reflect upon them in their prayers and gain insight. I thought I’d share a portion of it: We are many parts, We are all one body. And the gifts we have, We are given to share. May
2024 Year in Review: Support of many hands, support of many gifts, and support of many prayers.

You may have heard members of the Knights of Columbus express the greeting “Vivat Jesus!”. The words “Vivat Jesus!” are much more than a slogan or password for the Knights of Columbus.

The Knights’ third core principle is Fraternity. In 2023 the Knights organization topped 49 million volunteer hours (compared to Kiwanis or Masons at 18 million each). At St. Anne’s there are over 100 Knights sitting in pews next to you. I estimated 80% of the gentlemen at last week’s 10:30am mass were current Knights. We
