"I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, listens to my words, and acts on them. that one is like a person building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when the floood came, the river burst against the house but could not shake it because it had been well built." Luke 6:46

 Knights of Columbus 8342 & Columbian Squires

     The Knights of Columbus is an organization of over 1.7 million men who are 18 years of age and older. They are practical Catholics who are in union with the Holy See.
    
      The organization was founded in 1882 by a parish priest, Fr. Michael J. McGivney with the objective to:
          1) strengthen themselves and each other in the Faith;
          2) strengthen families and family life;
          3) be a strong pillar of support for their priests and bishops;
          4) be of service to Church and community by coming to the aid of those most in need in society; and
          5) aid one another in times of sickness or death, by means of a simple insurance plan, so that their wives and children would not face abject poverty.
  
Questions about the Knights of Columbus may be addressed to St. John the Evangelist Grand Knight at  paulwallen@cox.net or visit them on the web at  www.kc8342.org.
