Father McGivney s Vision The objective of this association is to promote the principles of unity and charity, so that the members may gain strength to bestow charity on each other. Men from different parishes were united in a catholic society designed to help them in the Christian obligation and the modern heroism of caring for a family; spiritually and financially.
SUPREME KNIGHT MESSAGING Our Mission is to build the domestic Church and Strengthen Parish Life. The family as domestic Church is central to both he new evangelization and to the future sustainability of our parishes also the future sustainability of the Order. New initiative--building the Domestic Church while Strengthening our Parishes Builds upon our past programs and accomplishments Move away from home associations to parish based councils Integrate more fully into the life of our parishes; especially in youth based ministries
Knights of Charity Charity is the first principle of our Order and it is what we are called to do for our Brothers who are Knights and our brothers in Christ Be the difference
