THE KNIGHTS SUNDAY NEWS

READ ALL ABOUT IT !!!!!

 

The last two weeks I spoke about the Knights’ emblem and what the four corners of our emblem represent. The first two are Charity and Unity, and the third corner represents Fraternity.

 

Fraternity makes a Knight aware that we are all made in the likeness of God. It brings home the requirement of love of neighbor no matter race, national origin or physical ability. It demands our defense of the weak and abused. It binds the brotherhood of Knights against injustice... It solidifies the bond between Knights and Bishops and Priests of the church.

 

Completion of the Fraternity degree (3^rd Degree) brings the Knight to full Knighthood.

(To be continued.)
