DO NOT WATCH THE DEBATES
If you know who you are going to vote for you need not watch the debate even though you may really, really want to. Why not, instead, go to your nearest Catholic Church while the debate is going on and pray before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength for the candidate of your choice.
Your prayers and sacrifice will help your candidate better than sitting in front of your television yellling at it.

I was knighted in 2004 in Kansas as a III Degree. Later that year I joined the Army and have been abroad since. Is anyone here part of the Springfield, Missouri KOC? Just wondering if I can get a glimpse of what to expect once I transistion there.

I want to become a member.Pls,What steps should I take?

Brother Knights,
Please visit the website www.usccb.org/conscience and stay informed on the recent decision by the US Dept. of Health and Human Services to require employers Catholic included to offer their employees health coverage that includes sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs and contraception. Our Archbishop left us a letter to this effect in our bulletin this weekend. I understand the monetary penalties for not complying are steep, but as our Archbishop pointed out this is a direct breach of our First Ammendment rights of religious liberty. Let us pray together and stay informed. If one right of religious practice can be dictated by the government then what will be next. Vivat Jesus.

Just want to say Hi and Merry Christmas to all brother Knights
New to the group and the forums.

Vivat Jesus!

Our Supreme Knight once again (he said the same thing in 2008) is telling our councils that "although the Order, in many places, is known for social events, councils must also be the center of charitable and spiritual activities as well."

I was on a Pilgrimage in Poland back in 2009 and a State Chaplain of our Order (from another state than where I live) laughed at me when I repeated that we Knights be the center for spiritual activities at our parish. He told me it would never happen. Let’s prove him wrong!

You Knights by virtue of being in this forum are showing a strong love for the spiritual side. I challenge you to start Eucharistic Adoration at your parish using all the brothers (and their spouses) to instantly get all the hours scheduled.

Eucharistic Adoration is the devotion so dear to Pope John Paul II's heart that we Knights have nowhere near supported to the degree we could. Our councils could lead the charge of a spiritual revival just in time for the elections.

With a council of 100 members you could have several days of Eucharistic Adoration up and running at your parish within a couple weeks. And you would inspire the rest of the parish members to join you.

www.adorationservants.org is here to help.

I am an active Knight of the Southern Cross, living in Queensland Australia. As such I would like to share the Ideas and Project we are using here to revitalise the Order, to "pick " my American Brothers ieas on these topics. When I was based in the UK with my work a few years ago I was able to attend meetings with the Knights of St Columba. I know this is a closed, members only forum but do you ever allow fellow Knights frpm over seas to join and develop Fraternal contacts and, hopefully friendship? If so how do I provide evidence of my membership - I am list on the Member Only page of the KSC Queensland Knights web page but this is only available to Members by use of a password.

I am particularly interested in the Spiritual Formation Program we run as part of our monthly meetings.

I would apreciate any information about forum participation that could be messaged to me -either here or if more appropriately at my email adress of prh546k@hotmail.com.

You Brother in Christ

Hello there gentleman, how are you? Back in the 90's I was involved in the KofC and had attained 4th degree status. In 2002 I was convicted of a felony and was told that I could no longer be a part of the fraternity. Next January I will be done with my sentence, off of any paperwork and completely clear of the past so why does Kof C not practice the art of forgiveness as required by our Lord and Savior? Anyone care to answer?
