From our Worthy Grand Knight...
 

Grand Knight, Jay Schaeufele...

Brothers,

 

Our order is built upon three core pillars: insurance, programs, and members.   Each of these pillars remains strong and it is through these pillars that we are the visible right arm of the Catholic Church in our community and across the world.   Thank you!  You are making a difference by your actions supporting our faith, your family, our Priest, Parish and community.  As we head into this fall season there will be many opportunities for you to be involved.  

   

Protecting life is foundational to our faith.  This month many of you participated in Life Chain in our community.  If you were not able to attend, I offer there are other ways to support this cause.   At this month's quarterly Virginia State K of C meeting, Brother Knight and Virginia Senator Ken Cuccinelli thanked the Knights for their support in a narrow (20 to 19) victory that has already produced overwhelming response to the new "Choose-Life" license plates.  Brother Ken stated that this is the first "Pro-Life" legislation passed in his 7 years in Virginia office. With over 1,000 of the plates having already been purchased a statement is being made.  Additionally $15 of each $25 annual fee goes directly to Heartbeat International, a Christian pregnancy resource organization.  I ask that you consider purchasing this new plate, to send a clear message to our legislators.    Plates can be ordered at:

Make the most of opportunities.  Be active!  Help us to help you grow as a Christian gentleman. 


 

Vivat Jesus!

Jay Schaeufele, Grand Knight
