Why are you a Knight?
Do you remember why you joined the KCs? When your annual dues statement shows up in the mail do you stop and think about why you are still a member? Take a few minutes and think about those two questions. Are your answers to each question different? I joined because I was fresh off of a CRHP retreat and on fire to get engaged somewhere. I really had no idea what the KCs did but I knew it was for Catholic men and that was enough for me to give it a shot. That was six years ago this June.
I'm still a KC because I love the cumulative power we have to help those in need. I cherish the friendships I've made. I really enjoy being a part of the 4th Degree Assembly. I am honored when we show up in number to pray the Rosary for a deceased member. I am humbled by each and every thank you I get because of something this council did.
What is your reason? Is it a particular activity you enjoy participating in each year, values we promote, things we do for the youth, the insurance program, or something else? Is there someone else you think could benefit from that answer? If so, consider inviting them to the First Degree at our next meeting.
