Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus is an outside organization; however monthly meetings are held on the first and third Tuesdays of every month in the Msgr. Jim Room at 6:30 p.m.

As I ponder, to write this note, greetings to the fine people of St. John Nepomucene parish. I asked some of our members what they liked about being a Knight and their responses humbled me as I felt tears form in my eyes.

The first worthy Knight Pat, said “It’s fun” as he quoted one of his college professors as saying “Do well by doing good”. Many of the Knights common responses were, “ they liked the comradery of like minded men.” Our worthy Financial Secretary Marty, commented, “It’s a great way to live out your Catholic faith by performing works of Charity. Our humble Advocate, James commented, “forgive me if my response is not in line with the others, but …. It makes me a better person”. Our Field Agent Dan, who sells Knights financial investments for the protection of its members, said, “While I do make a living working as a Knights Agent, it gives me great satisfaction to offer consolation to grieving members, when they have lost a loved one.” This man is not just an agent, he is a man of great integrity and faith.

For me personally, it was an amazing consolation, to have the 4th degree honor guard posted by my dad’s coffin, when he passed away. I remember in later years of his life, his best friends were fellow Knights.

As such, we are looking for new members to join the Knights of Columbus. It’s an amazing opportunity to serve our parish, for a practicing Catholic man that is 18-years or older. God Bless! Vivat Jesus!!
