Imagine being part of an
organization that fills your heart and your mind
with the joy of giving to others and the feeling
that comes with making a difference.
Knights are Catholic men, 18
years of age and older, who are committed to making
their community a better place, while supporting
their Church. Being a Knight is more than
camaraderie; it is being involved with your
community; it is supporting your local Catholic
Church, while enhancing your own faith; it is about
protecting and enhancing your family life. |
