Charity

Charity is at the heart of our work and our faith — and it always has been. For the Knights of Columbus, charity means supporting a virtually boundless variety of projects including helping each brother and the community.

Here are Knights and Families of Council 3880 distributing Food and Goods to our community from the Crystal Lake Food Pantry.

Unity

The unity of our Order is founded in the sacred unity of our Church, which arises from the unity of God, who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our unity expresses our belief in one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, and one God and Father of us all.

In October we display Pro-Life Crosses in honor of lives taken through Abortion.

Fraternity

Our bond of Fraternity is not merely a lofty principle. It is the way of life of a steadfast Knight of Columbus strengthened by the Holy Spirit. It is the responsibility of every Knights of Columbus council to be an exemplary model of Catholic fraternity.

Patriotism

Members of the Knights of Columbus, be they Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Cubans, Filipinos, Poles, or Dominicans, are patriotic citizens. We are proud of our devotion to God and country, and believe in standing up for both. Whether it’s in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens.

 Diocese of Rockford Seminarians

Vocation Raffle

Vocation Raffle ticket booklets are available, and more this year  are being distributed. Please do your part when asked by our Chancellor William Bransley to buy one or more of his Raffle booklets and better yet, tell others, with the Booklet in hand, the purpose of the Vocational support of the Knights of Columbus.

 The Raffle supports the seminarians for which $9 of a $15 booklet stays with our Council to directly support seminarians and $6 goes to the State Council for their Vocational support program. Even then the money continues to be paid forward for those who have chosen to walk the path of Christ. Our Council 3880 sends upon direction of the Diocese a $500 stipend to those seminarians and in 2024 we propose to support nine seminarians. As a Past Deputy Grand Knight once explained to his Brother Knights, “To those much is given, much is expected”.

 So, until the November business meeting, members of our Council will be presented by our Chancellor a Raffle booklet.  Whether you win or not the $20k in prize monies, there is a future priest, nun and brother who will.

God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the widow and orphan, you called your priest, Fr. Michael J. McGivney,  to be an apostle of Christian family life and lead Through the example of his life and virtue, may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely fulfilling his to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that you glorify your venerable servant Father Michael J. McGivney on earth according to the design of your holy will.
