Funeral
Mass Honor Guard
If you attend a funeral Mass for a Brother Knight, you are
encouraged to participate in the KC honor guard. Knights
will usually gather in the church entrance prior to the
Mass and pin on the honor guard ribbons to their coats.
The honor guard processes together into the church before
the family and is seated together behind the pews reserved
for the pall bearers. At the conclusion of the Mass, the
honor guard processes out of the church, before the family
and casket are ushered out, and we stand at attention at
the church entrance as the casket leaves the church. All
Knights from any Council are welcome to stand honor guard.
If the deceased is also a member of the Fourth Degree, a
color corps of Fourth Degree Knights leads the KC honor
guard.
Wanted
Knights for one hour???
Every first Saturday of the month at
St. Bon's Church from 10:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M. on Saturday, a

The Benefit of
Brotherhood
The Knights of Columbus insurance program recently passed
a major milestone when total insurance in force exceeded $65 billion
for the first time. The Order was established in 1882 as a fraternal
benefit society, and one of its primary aims was to enable its
members to protect their families with life insurance. The amount
of Knights of Columbus life insurance in force has doubled in
the past decade, from $32.9 billion in 1997 to $65 billion today.
The Knights of Columbus now has over $14 billion in assets and
more than 1.8 million life, annuity and long-term care policies
in force, and ranks in the Fortune 1000 list of America’s
largest companies. It is one of only six insurance companies in
North America to receive the highest possible rating from both
Standard & Poor’s (AAA) and A.M. Best (A++), and certification
of ethical business practices from the Insurance Marketplace Standards
Association (IMSA).
Have you taken advantage of our Orders’ greatest fraternal
benefit? Give me a call.
