1. Put your faith into action - Consider our Lord’s teaching on the judgment of nations . Are you satisfied that you have done these things for the Lord? If not, joining the Knights of Columbus is an excellent way to practice your faith outside of church.
  2. Become friends with your fellow Catholic men - Consider St. Paul’s mark of a true Christian from Romans 12:9-11: The Knights of Columbus is a fraternal group. By joining, you’ll meet men who hold the same Catholic values that you do. Making good friends will strengthen your faith and your parish.
  3. Protect your family - Our order was created to care for the families of members who lose their primary wage-earner. Members of the Knights of Columbus have access to excellent life insurance. Men who join can rest assured that their families will be provided for when they pass away.
  4. Strengthen your parish - Parishes with less active men shrink. Parishes with more active men thrive. The statistics on male participation in their faith are dismal. Only 29% of men believe that weekly mass attendance is “very important.” Almost half of Catholic men do not engage in a routine of prayer; praying only “occasionally or sometimes” or “seldom or never.” 83% of Catholic men rarely or never participate in a parish activity outside of the Mass. By joining the Knights of Columbus, you can help unite the men of our parish in fully living their faith.
  5. Evangelize the community - Pope Francis urges us to get out and bring Christ to the community: Let us go forth, then, let us go forth to offer everyone the life of Jesus Christ…. If something should rightly disturb us and trouble our consciences, it is the fact that so many of our brothers and sisters are living without the strength, light and consolation born of friendship with Jesus Christ… Through charitable work and spiritual activity, Knights unleash the Gospel. Join us, and help spread the Catholic faith to the north Brevard community
