Grand Knight’s Message
Brother Knights,
Thank You to everyone who helped out at our Church Bazaar.
Once again everyone helping made it another successful year.
I really hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
If anyone has even a spare hour to give, call Ray Bandas and
sign up to help at the paper trailer at the end of this month.
Once again this money all goes back to the community. The
reason we went from three paper drives down to two drives is
because we could use more volunteers. It would be a shame
to see this go away. I believe we will fill a semi load of paper
and cardboard again.
Finally, fall is the shortest season of the year. Don’t let it slip
away without taking in all of its beauty that you can. When I
was young, I grew up on a farm. The harvest time, very busy
to say the least, holds some of my favorite memories. The
scenery outside a tractor window and the peacefulness are
second to none. I also remember how a family works as one
to get the job done.
Please be Safe.
Hope to see everyone at our meeting.
Thank You for all your support
Grand Knight Paul Davis

Wish these Knights good tidings on their
special day and keep them in your prayers
for many more birthdays.

We Stand Strong on Ethical Ground
Field Agent Michael Cruser 320-420-7961
[email protected]
Some people believe that ethics in business is a contradiction in terms. They think that
in order to be profitable, a company and its leaders must abandon morality and embrace
the dark, greedy side that they see so often in the news and in movies.
At the Knights of Columbus, we know this isn’t true. A business can be both ethical and successful. We are. As a
Catholic organization, we understand the value and importance of our core beliefs and the original mission of
Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney. In fact, much of the strength and financial security we provide to members
and their families can be attributed to our ethical, moral standards.
More than 96 percent of Knights who buy our life insurance keep it year in and year out. The Order takes this
commitment to our members very seriously. This means carefully planning when it comes time to invest. Our
professional staff researches all transactions to insure that they fall in line with Catholic values. If a transaction
makes them uncomfortable, they don’t make it.
“We exclude any company engaged in activity that conflicts with Catholic moral teaching: companies directly
involved in abortion, contraception, human cloning, embryonic stem cell research, for-profit health care that pays for
any of these, or pornography,” said Supreme Knight Carl Anderson. “There are many companies in the
pharmaceutical and communications industries that would undoubtedly provide excellent returns for us, but which
are not in our portfolio because they engage in research and development or programming in ways that violate the
sanctity or dignity of human life.”
In the end, the Knights of Columbus investment strategy is motivated by morality, not money. Yet, each year we
remain profitable, increase our assets, and stay dedicated to this vision that will keep the Order financially sound for
generations to come.
“Faithful Catholics have choices when buying life insurance,” said the Supreme Knight. “But they know that at the
Knights of Columbus their policy is supplied by an insurer that shares their moral and ethical values and is guided in
all of its investment and sales practices by those values.”
