I belong to Council 4708 of Benedictine College. I can vouch that we are an amesome force for good. It has attracted men who want to do good, because that is what the organization asks of us.

I think the KoC are kewl!! At our parish, they're mainly old guys, but when they process w/ us (I'm an altar server) on the Holy Week masses, it's magical. To see them in full gear and with such a look of determination on their faces...kewl. As for spaghetti, though, our Men's Club does the cooking; not the Knights.

in Him,

Sarah

Don't they use those swords to attack Anti-Catholics at the Parish doors?

Anyways, I never fully understood the KoC. I've gotten an Alter Server award from them (even though I wasn't an official Catholic...but I was honored very much!)

Plus, why do they wear those type of costumes? Why not like...medieval type? Now THAT would be cool...but costly.

I've never really understood the KoC. Can somebody provide some history? What are their objectives, goals, purpose etc.?

Thanks.

peace...

they started out as still are a catholic relief organization, i think they started out providing insurance to catholic factory workers who couldn't get it anywhere else.

I wasn't aware Ohio was a monarchy. I suppose that's all well and good, but I bet the Knight of Columbus spend a lot of time trying to justify their existence to the people, and attempting to hold jousts and tournaments in lieu of football games.
