I became a knight, Knights of Columbus, yesterday.

Do I have any fellow knights out there?

I've haven't been one too long, but situations have been favorable, and I'm currently 3rd degree.

It's a great organization, and I have a lot of family that's done it. It's the best charity I know of, and I'm very glad to support it--and eventually, get a sword & fuzzy hat!

Hello Reverand Alex,
They told me that they were switching away from the fuzzy hats to a new uniform. This time a beret. Arrgh! I wanted the fuzzy hat! Though they say the move has been highly contested.

Yes, my uncle was a knight, and I always wanted to become one but never had the time. Now I am retired and joined up. I have yet to go to my first meeting. I think I am going to love it!

Just became one actually. Got reeled in by the life insurance...which is now getting gummed up.

Not sure how it's going to work out because I'm not a particularly social guy so I don't have much interest in going to meetings or helping out with the stuff they do.

My husband was asked but it was not his thing. Congrats though!

I no longer have anyone who would be in need if I died tomorrow, so I do not need the life insurance.

They told me that KOC gave, like 175 million dollars to charities last year. Wow! That sounds good.

Where would we be if Jesus never called His Apostles into brotherhood with Him?

I consider myself sociable, but I have a hard time meeting new friends at coffee and donuts after Mass. I know that all changes when you join a group, any group. Where you had problems developing brotherhood friendships outside of a group, being part of the group binds people to one another in a special way, making it really easy to all of a sudden have many new friends.

You should join just to see what happens.

I was a third degree before I left the church 5 years or so ago, but I still have the insurance. It was a wonderful organization, I wish that there were more men's groups like this in other churches as well.

My brother Knights of Columbus and I put on ‘Breakfast with Santa’ at St. Pius X.

Sounds like a great group.

Hello Eastcoast,
So far it has been a great blessing to have become a Knight. They are a wonderful group of Catholic guys.
