Christopher Simeone INSURANCE INFORMATION: Insurance in the order is voluntary. Insurance in general is necessary to protect our loved ones in the event of our death, and death is mandatory. If you need to a policy, why not take it with the Knights of Columbus? Our order is almost 2 million members around the world in over 16,000 councils in over a dozen countries. Our order is one of the loudest advocates of religious freedom in the courts and on the streets. Your annual dues cannot support these efforts, but our insurance members do when they purchase a policy. Even a small policy helps our causes around the world. There are a host of policy options available to all members and their families. As it is said in Thessalonians 5:2 "The Lord will come like a thief in the night." If we know the day and time the thief will strike, will we not prepare for him? We should prepare for the time our Lord will call us to come home and make sure those

who we leave behind are cared for. Call our agent today and make an appointment. An hour out of your busy schedule can save years of suffering for our loved ones.
