Patriotic degree of the Order
What a beautiful ceremony and meal!
Many thanks to Stanley Ciukaj-District Master of Massachusetts for all his hard work putting together the First Annual Procession of Masters and Blessing of the Swords and Honor Guard Certifications on Sunday, May 7, 2023 at St. Mary’s Church in Ware. Additional thanks to Ware Council 183 for the wonderful meal. State Officials and many Honor Guard members from across the state were in attendance.
E ARE Catholic men building a bridge back to faith. There is much work to be done in this world. Good work. Necessary work. And that’s what the Knights do. Every day.
Assisting the sick and disabled. Protecting those who can’t protect themselves. Whether they are next door or halfway around the world. This is the journey we are on. Our path.
We do it to be better husbands, fathers, sons, neighbors, and Catholics. We invest our time, our effort, and our resources into our values: Charity, Unity, Fraternity, Patriotism.
We come from many places. And backgrounds. And stages in our lives. But we are all of one faith. A fraternity of men striving to better ourselves and our world.
It’s one thing to say who you are. It’s another to live it. To put your values into action. That’s what we do at the Knights of Columbus.
That’s who we are.
