On November 17th, four members from our Family of Man Council received their Knighthood Degrees during a special ceremony held at Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church in Sterling, VA.

The Knighthood (formally known as the 3rd) Degree represents Fraternity, one of four core virtues of the Knights of Columbus and reflects the moral teachings of the Catholic Church. The other core principles are Charity, Unity and Patriotism.

On Sunday October 2, 2016, five of our Knights and three family members volunteered to assist at the Down Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia's annual DSANV Buddy Walk®.

Funding from the Buddy Walk allows the DSANV to provide individuals with Down syndrome and their families with educational, financial, medical, legal and social support and resources.

The Family of Man Council has provided volunteer assistance to this event since it began 12 years ago.

In preparation for Election Day, the Knights of Columbus is calling its members and all the faithful to join together in a novena to the Holy Trinity through the maternal intercession of the Immaculate Conception, patroness of the United States.

Join your brother Knights around the nation for this novena, beginning on Sunday, Oct. 30, and concluding on Monday, Nov. 7. The prayer for the novena can be found HERE.
