Fraternal organizations, which combined social aspects and ritual, were extremely popular during the late 19th century, but anti-Catholic sentiments regularly excluded Catholics from joining many of these groups and accessing the social services they provided. Given this social environment and the Church’s ban on membership in secret societies, Blessed Fr. Michael McGivney established the K of C not only to unite men in their faith and provide for deceased men’s families, but also to create an alternative social outlet to prevent Catholic men from joining organizations that conflicted with Church teaching.

Given the strong desire for ritual at the time, the K of C developed multiple ceremonies associated with receiving the four degrees that marked a man’s progress as a Knight. While the K of C has never been a secret society, the degree ceremonies were kept confidential to preserve their impact on the degree candidates as well as maintain the beauty and dignity of the lessons taught regarding charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism.

Times change and so do the Knights. After 142 years, in early 2020 the Knights decided to combine the 1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees into a single ceremony called the Exemplification of Charity, Unity and Fraternity. They also removed the veil of secrecy by making it open to family, friends and fellow parishioners. On January 31st, LaSalle Council will induct new members during the first Exemplification ceremony to be held at St. Ignatius.

Join us on Friday January 29th for an entire day of pro-life activities, prayers and fellowship for the youth and their families!

Get more information HERE for youth ministry participants! 

The day will begin at 9:30am with a morning rally and speaker in our own Church at Saint Ignatius.

We’ll conclude the ‘rally’ with Mass celebrated by Father Earl. We’ll then go down to Holy Name Church for the 1 pm for a mini-march led by Father Ethan Moore.

Every dollar makes a difference in covering our expenses,” says a Trappist abbot. Hundreds of US religious communities struggle to provide for aging members because most senior Catholic sisters, brothers and religious order priests served for little pay. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps these communities bridge the gap, offering support for medications, nursing care and other necessities. Please be generous. You may donate at Masses this December 12-13 or by mail at Office for Consecrated Life, Attn. Maria Reinagel, 100 E. 8th Street, Cincinnati, 45202. Please make your check payable to Archdiocese of Cincinnati/ RFR. You can also donate online here: www.Catholicaoc.org/rfr.
