Knights Four Principles<\/h2>\n

All the good works we do are informed by our four core principles:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/stpeterparishva.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/4Principles.jpg” alt=”Knights of Columbus 4 Principles” title_text=”4Principles” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”80%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]
\n[\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Charity” alt=”praying-hands” image_icon_width=”100px” _builder_version=”4.16″ header_font=”|300|||||||” header_font_size=”25px” text_orientation=”center” image_max_width=”100px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Our Catholic faith teaches us to \u201cLove thy neighbor as thyself.\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Unity” alt=”praying-hands” image_icon_width=”100px” _builder_version=”4.16″ header_font=”|300|||||||” header_font_size=”25px” text_orientation=”center” image_max_width=”100px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

None of us is as good as all of us. Members of the Knights of Columbus all know that \u2013 together \u2013 we can accomplish far more than any of us could individually. So we stick together\u2026 we support one another. That doesn\u2019t mean that we always agree or that there is never a difference of opinion. It does mean that \u2013 as a Knight of Columbus \u2013 you can count on the support and encouragement of your brother Knights as you work to make life better in your parish and community.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Fraternity” alt=”praying-hands” image_icon_width=”100px” _builder_version=”4.16″ header_font=”|300|||||||” header_font_size=”25px” text_orientation=”center” image_max_width=”100px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The 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 \u2013 often prematurely. The Order\u2019s top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do individual Knights, who last year gave more than 10 million hours of their time to assist sick and\/or disabled members and their families. In the Knights of Columbus, we watch out for and take care of one another.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”Patriotism” alt=”praying-hands” image_icon_width=”100px” _builder_version=”4.16″ header_font=”|300|||||||” header_font_size=”25px” text_orientation=”center” image_max_width=”100px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

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\u2019s in public or private, the Knights remind the world that Catholics support their nations and are amongst the greatest citizens.<\/p>\n
