In Service To One, In Service To All
Defend Human Dignity
Throughout history, the Catholic Church has been a force for good in the world. As Catholics, our world view rests on a number of passages of Holy Scripture:
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
St. Matthew 7:12
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
St. Matthew 25:35-36
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
St. James 1:27
Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
Psalm 82: 3-4
As Knights of Columbus, we take our Catholic Faith seriously. We realize our time for laying up treasure in Heaven is limited. Therefore, charity is our first principle.
In these days where human life seems cheapened in a Culture of Death, Knights are committed to fighting for a Culture of Life, and fighting infanticide through abortion and patricide through euthanasia.
We're also for the protection of the disabled.
We'll be handing out empty bottles on PALM SUNDAY for our annual baby bottle fundraiser for our local pregnancy resource
center.
Please, be generous filling your bottle. The filled bottles will be taken back up on MOTHER's DAY.
