Knights
are practicing Catholic Men, 18 years of age and older, who are committed to making
their community a better place, while supporting their Church.
All
we ask of you is to give our Organization a minimum of 24 hours of your
time a year if at all possible.
* 12 Hours a year just
to read Important Periodicals and Information sent to you. That’s half of
your time just reading information at your leisure. Below are some examples
of the reading material:
a) Our Council (Pope John Paul I, Council
6865) News Letter is sent out to each Knight once a
month. This News Letter informs our members of upcoming events within our own
Council that they may want to participate in.
b) The Columbia Magazine is sent out to each Knight once a month.
c) The Knight Line News Letter is sent out to each Knight once a month.
* 2 Hours a year to work on the MI Drive. Yes, that’s us selling
Tootsie Rolls on Palm Sunday Weekend to raise money for the
Mentally Impaired.
* 2 Hours for Corporate Communion. Our
Council gets together each quarter (4 Times a year) to attend
mass as a group. We only ask that you try to attend two of them. These Corporate
Communions are held on the same day before the following events. All are welcome
to attend the functions after the Mass but it is not mandatory.
a) Our
Annual Installation of Officers usually held in late August or early September
after 10:00 or 12:00 Mass. A luncheon is served after
the Installation of Officers takes place. All Members
and their families are welcome to attend. There is no cost to you.
b) Our Annual Council Christmas Party usually held the first week
of December after the 4:00 Mass on Saturday. This family
event is for Members and their families, children and grandchildren.
Food, Snacks, Refreshments and Crafts for the Children. Santa Claus
is
there with gifts and there is entertainment for everyone. There is no cost
to you.
c) An event to be determined—usually held in
March.
d) Our Annual Clergy Appreciation Dinner usually held in
early June after the 4:00 Mass on Saturday. All Members
and their families are welcome. There is no cost to you.
* 4
Hours to attend Social Functions.
Note: Attending (2) of the above functions that coincide
with the Corporate Communions takes care of
(8) Hours of your time that we ask of you and,
you and your Family had fun doing it.
* 4 Hours to help
with one K of C activity involving Church, Community, Family, Council or Youth.
Some of you are already doing this. There is no cost to you.
Please consider joining us and we know that you
and your Family will have no regrets. The above are suggestions only; it is entirely
up to you to determine how much time you can give. Thank you.
You owe it to yourself to find out more about this organization.
