"We are proud of our devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both. The Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens.
Venerable Father McGivney, pray for us.

**No one, least of all Father McGivney, suspected that 132 years later the Knights of Columbus would grow to be an international body of 1.84 million Catholic men**
Bump to the top for the Knights.

In before “The Bible doesn’t mention anything about knights OR Columbus.”

Knights of Columbus is a truly great organization.
Only - real question here - which K of C members get to turn out in the outfits with the fore & aft hat, cape, and sword?

May the founder one day gets the offical title of “Saint” one day.

You are referring to Color Corps members of the Fourth Degree,
which I am a proud member.

Congratulations! How does one earn that? (I’m Catholic))
To: elcid1970
Just join the Knights and proceed to the Fourth Degree. Ask any knight at your parish about it. The Grand Knight will welcome you with open arms!

I’m 65. If I join now, will I live to see the Fourth Degree? Real question.
To: elcid1970
There is no wait between degrees. I was a Fourth Degree within one year. I was 63 years old when I took the Fourth Degree Oath. You will meet some of the greatest Catholic gentleman in the world. We have Knights ranging from 18 years old to 90. One of the Knights that became a Fourth Degree the same time I did last year is a World War II veteran of the Battle of the Bulge.

One of the best decisions I ever made was joining the Knights. One of my biggest regrets is I did not join years earlier.

At the Mass at our diocesan Eucharistic Congress, a 4th Degree Knight stands with drawn sword beside each minister of the Eucharist. It really makes you think!
