Our Principles
Our four core principles are Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism.
Charity: By conducting food drives, donating food to local soup kitchens, providing dinners for the homeless, by supporting mothers, both spiritually and materially, who choose life for their babies, we bring our Catholic faith teachings " Love thy neighbor as thy self " alive.
Unity: Members together can accomplish far more than any of us could accomplish individually. You can count on the support and encouragement of you brother Knights as you work to improve the quality of life.
Fraternity: The venerable Fr. Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to provide assistance to widows and children left behind, when the breadwinner died often prematurely due to industrial work. The Orders' top rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do individual Knights, who last year gave more than 10 million hours of their time to assist sick and/or disabled members and their families.
Patriotism: The Knights are proud of devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both. Whether in public or private, the Knights support their nation and are amongst the greatest citizens.
