Knights of Columbus, Saint Francis of Assisi Council 6999-Plainfield, Ct

Knights of Columbus, Saint Francis of Assisi Council 6999-Plainfield, Ct The Knights of Columbus is the largest Fraternal Catholic charity organization in the world. We are the Knights of Columbus.

Charity - Our Catholic faith teaches us to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Members of the Knights of Columbus show love for their neighbors by conducting food drives and donating the food to local soup kitchens and food pantries, by volunteering at Special Olympics, and by supporting, both spiritually and materially, mothers who choose life for their babies. Knights recognize that our mission, and

our faith in God, compels us to action. There is no better way to experience love and compassion than by helping those in need, a call we answer every day. Unity – None of us is as good as all of us. Members of the Knights of Columbus all know that – together – we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. So we stick together…we support one another. That doesn’t mean that we always agree or that there is never a difference of opinion. It does mean that – as a Knight of Columbus – you can count on the support and encouragement of your brother Knights as you work to make life better in your parish and community. Fraternity – The Venerable Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to provide assistance to the widows and children left behind when the family breadwinner died – often prematurely. The Order’s 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. In the Knights of Columbus, we watch out for and take care of one another. Patriotism – Members of the Knights of Columbus, be they Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Cubans, Filipinos, Poles, or Dominicans, are patriotic citizens. We are proud of our devotion to God and country and believe in standing up for both. Whether it’s in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens.

Today, 40 days after Easter Sunday, we celebrate Ascension Thursday. Christ has conquered death, ascended into heaven, and now sits at the Father’s right hand.

The Ascension reminds us that our true home is heaven, and as Knights of Columbus, we continue to build his kingdom by defending life, strengthening families, serving the Church, and caring for the most vulnerable.

Let us rise with Christ today and continue to live in the reality of the resurrection by serving those around us.

An Easter Message from Supreme Knight Patrick E. Kelly

Dear Brother Knights:

Christ is Risen! Alleluia!

Together with all the Supreme Officers, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a most blessed Easter.

Easter is the culmination of the liturgical year and takes on special meaning in this Jubilee Year dedicated to hope. Indeed, in his message convoking the Jubilee Year, Pope Francis wrote, “The death and resurrection of Jesus is the heart of our faith and the basis of our hope” (Spes non confundit, 20).

The Easter season during the Jubilee Year is therefore a time of ultimate hope, no matter where we may be as pilgrims in life’s often tumultuous journey. Christ has conquered sin and death and opened the gates of Heaven. This was the Good News of the first Easter, and it is the same eternal message the Church announces today. Our challenge as Catholic men and as Knights of Columbus is to embrace this Good News in our own lives, within our own families, and to bring the message of joy and hope to everyone we meet.

May our Risen Lord bless you and your loved ones this Easter and always, and may we go forth as pilgrims of hope, joyfully announcing that Jesus lives.

Vivat Jesus!
