Love One Another-Most Reverend Jerome E. Listecki The Archbishop of Milwaukee attended the Wisconsin State Convention of the Knights of Columbus where he was the principal celebrant at the Mass and an invited guest at the banquet. Here are some excerpts from his letter dated April 27, 2010 to the archdiocese. "...I found the Knights to be different. They were serious about their faith and they wanted to make a difference. I discovered that their founder Father Michael J. McGivney banded Catholics together for fraternal support. He experienced the prejudice leveled against the immigrant Catholics who professed their faith and so he designed the Knights to defend their faith and offer support to families who might experience the loss of a husband or father. Most Catholics recognize the Knights as those men dressed in capes, plumed hats, carrying swords, who act as the honor guard for the bishop in a liturgical procession. But they are so much more in terms of the good works that they perform, in raising money for the education of those who are mentally challenged, in lending their support to pro-life causes and promoting vocations to the priesthood and religious life. The Knights support the Pope and the teachings of the Church. They love their priests and they readily offer their assistance to the local bishop. Organizations and associations like the Knights of Columbus remind us of our responsibility to live our faith. They assist us in identifying ourselves as Catholics." |
