All this work is the result of great effort and sacrifice of a small dedicated group of Brother Knights. In order to sustain our call to service, we need the participation of the rest of the members. If all members just dedicated a few hours a month we could easily do twice as much to the benefit of our Church, our Families, and our Community.

So that we may live up to the legacy & mission of our Order, let’s join in service to those in greatest need. That we may proclaim the Gospel of Life by our example as we build together a Civilization of Love.
