Knights Of Columbus 8806 Gun Barrel City, TX 75156
Charity. . . is the first principle of the Order. Knights are followers of Jesus Christ and men of faith. Therefore, as Knights we are committed to charity, easing the plight of those les fortunate.
Fraternity. . . is the third principle of the Order. In 19th century America, life insurance was beyond the financial reach of many poor Catholics and social services did not exist. Through the Knights of Columbus, men were able to band together as brothers to help one another in times of distress, sickness, and death.
Unity. . . is the second principle of the Knights of Columbus. 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 you can count on the support and encouragement of your brother Knights as you work to make life better in your parish and community.
Patriotism. . . is the principle of the Fourth Degree. 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.
