The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 in New Haven, Connecticut, by Father Michael J. McGivney, a parish priest at St. Mary's Catholic Church. In less than 120 years it has grown to include 1.6 million members around the world, including the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Guam. Last year alone, the Knights donated over $130 million and 61 million hours of service to charitable causes. The 46,000 Massachusetts Knights and their families donated over $2.92 million to local handicapped and mentally challenged agencies and individuals. Many Massachusetts children and their families have benefited from the grants through the Massachusetts State Council Knights of Columbus Charity Fund.

Supreme Council Our Lady of Charity Prayer Program

Our Lady of Charity Prayer Program

A new Marian Prayer Program in honor of Our Lady of Charity begins Orderwide on September 8, the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This program features an image of Our Lady of Charity, the patroness of Cuba.

Our Lady of Charity has special significance to the Knights of Columbus, given the Order's first principle of Charity, which was also the theme of Pope Benedict XVI’s first encyclical, Deus Caritas Est.  Therefore, although the Virgin of Charity has her origins in Cuba, devotion to her is altogether appropriate for Knights of Columbus everywhere.  As a sign of spiritual solidarity with Pope Benedict XVI, the Holy Father and his intentions will be remembered during each prayer service.

For more information on the Our Lady of Charity image and devotion, please see this letter from Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson  and the September 2007 issue of Columbia.

UPCOMING BLOOD DRIVES

CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES

Worthy Brother Knights,

Please encourage your Brother Knights to donate blood. Many don't realize the importance of giving blood until someone in their family is in an accident, diagnosed with cancer, or is undergoing surgery. The blood used to help these patients comes directly from everyday people in the community who realize that in about an hour, they can literally save the lives of three people! Donating blood is such a simple way to give to your community.

It only takes an hour, in fact, the actual donation only lasts about fifteen minutes, and rarely hurts. Most say, "I want to donate, but I'm afraid of needles!" Who isn't? The nurses and technicians are highly trained and are great at making the donor feel comfortable during the donation process. A first-time blood donor quickly realizes that there is nothing to it, and wonders why he or she was afraid all this time.

The general guidelines for giving blood are that the donor must be 17 years of age or older, weigh at least 110 pounds, and is feeling well on the day of donation. Giving blood is extremely safe and a brand new needle is used for each donation, so there is no risk of contracting any sort of disease from giving blood.

The American Red Cross New England Region must collect over 1,400 units of blood a day to keep up with the demand for blood for local hospitals. You would think we would have plenty of blood donors, but the fact is only 5% of the eligible population donates blood. We need new blood donors to begin giving and need those lapsed donors to start giving again. The need for blood is constant with a shelf life of only 42 days.

Blood is free for Brother Knights and their families. Insurance companies pay for processing.

Please let me know when you are planning to have your blood drive and how many pints were collected.
