Our Principles | Knights of Columbus 13133 | Forney, Texas
All the good works we do are informed by our four core principles:
Charity
–
Our
Catholic
faith
teaches
us
to
“Love
thy
neighbor
as
thyself.”
Members
of
the
Knights
of
Columbus
show
love
for
their
neighbors
by
conducting
food
drives
and
donating
the
food
to
local
soup
kitchens
and
food
pantries,
by
volunteering
at
Special
Olympics,
and
by
supporting,
both
spiritually
and
materially,
mothers
who
choose
life
for
their
babies.
Knights
recognize
that
our
mission,
and
our
faith
in
God,
compels
us
to
action.
There
is no better way to experience love and compassion than by helping those in need, a call we answer every day.
Unity
–
None
of
us
is
as
good
as
all
of
us.
Members
of
the
Knights
of
Columbus
all
know
that
–
together
–
we
can
accomplish
far
more
than
any
of
us
could
individually.
So
we
stick
together…we
support
one
another.
That
doesn’t
mean
that
we
always
agree
or
that
there
is
never
a
difference
of
opinion.
It
does
mean
that
–
as
a
Knight
of
Columbus
–
you
can
count
on
the
support
and
encouragement
of
your
brother
Knights
as
you
work
to
make
life better in your parish and community.
Fraternity
–
Venerable
Michael
J.
McGivney
founded
the
Knights
of
Columbus,
in
large
part,
to
provide
assistance
to
the
widows
and
children
left
behind
when
the
family
breadwinner
died
–
often
prematurely.
The
Order’s
top-rated
insurance
program
continues
to
do
this
today,
as
do
the
good works of individual Knights, who gave more than 75.6 million service hours in 2017, illustrating how Catholics serve each other in fraternity and mercy.
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.
