The Gift of Knighthood pt 2
- Fri, Oct 25, 2024 6:21 AM
Brothers, Vivat Jesus!
Today marks two months until Christmas Day! While two months may seem like a lot of time, the holiday season has a way of sneaking up on us with all the shopping, decorating, cooking, gift wrapping, and festive music that comes along with it.
And speaking of gifts, this year we can all give our Catholic friends a unique and meaningful present that will be cherished forever: the Gift of Knighthood!
The Gift of Knighthood is a long-standing gift that holds its value indefinitely. This printable card serves as a useful tool when engaging with potential members, allowing you to showcase the Order's accomplishments while offering them the gift of Free Membership.
Below are links to downloadable PDF files for your convenience. It is recommended that you use card-stock for printing purposes. The single PDF file can be easily shared via email with friends, family, and prospective members. Alternatively, the four-per-page format can be printed, cut into individual gift cards, and distributed accordingly.

Suggestions for Use:
1) Distribute these cards among your Brother Knights so they can present them as gifts to their Catholic friends and neighbors.
2) Share these cards with your wife so that she may pass them along to her Catholic acquaintances to give to their husbands.
3) Remember to include your name, council number, and contact information on the back of the card for easy reference.
Keeping with the holiday spirit, encourage Catholic men to become a “Knight Before Christmas”!
