In honor of the Universal Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Sept. 8 join Knights of Columbus and their
families around the world at 9 p.m. (ET) in praying the Rosary of Guadalupan Love.
Today, more than ever, our world is in need of prayers for peace. The Knights of Columbus World Day of
Prayer for Peace, held annually on Sept. 11, provides an opportunity for Knights throughout the Order to participate in a
powerful international offering of prayer for peace.
That’s probably the exact opposite of what you may think happens when a representative of a life
insurer comes to your home. That may be true under some circumstances, but not with the Knights of Columbus.

Founder of the KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS, Father Michael McGivney (1852-1890)
There are more than 1.8 million members in 15,000 councils, with nearly 200
councils on college campuses. Membership is limited to "practical Catholic" men aged 18 or older.
Councils have been chartered in the United States,Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean,
Guatemala, Panama, Dominican Republic, the Philippines, Guam, Spain, Japan, Cuba, and most recently in Poland. The Knights'
official junior organization, the Columbian Squires, has over 5,000 Circles. All the Order's ceremonials and business meetings
are restricted to members, though all other events are open to the public. A promise not to reveal any details of the ceremonials
except to an equally qualified Knight is required to ensure their impact and meaning for new members; an additional clause
subordinates the promise to that Knight's civil and religious duties.
In the 2009 fraternal year, the Order gave over US$151 million directly to charity
(over $1.367 billion in charitable contributions in the last 10 years) and performed over 69 million man hours of voluntary
service. Over 413,000 pints of blood were collected. For their support for the Church and local communities, as well as for
their philanthropic efforts, the Order often refers to itself as the "strong right arm of the Church". The Order's
insurance program has more than $70 billion of life insurance policies in force, backed up by $14 billion in assets, and holds
the highest insurance ratings given by A. M. Best, Standard & Poor's, and the Insurance
Marketplace Standards Association.
