On May 16th, Council 6520 exemplifying 3 new candidates into our fraternity and conducted a Knighting ceremony for 20 new 4th degree Sir Knights.  

Congratulations to our new Knights and Sir Knights!

In these videos, Knights explain what attracted them to the world’s largest Catholic fraternal organization.

• In Jared Zimmerer’s adult years, he found that he lost the sense of brotherhood that he previously had with Catholic men. That’s when he realized the Knights of Columbus offered “a vast amount of opportunities not only for men but for their families to live and grow in the faith together.” WATCH

• When Jeremy Gay learned about the opportunity to join the Knights of Columbus at his parish, the call to be a man of action and to participate in his community was “a natural choice.” WATCH

Share these videos with a Catholic man you know, and let him know that through June 30 he can join the Order for free using promo code MCGIVNEY2020 at kofc.org/join.
