- I don’t have time to join another organization; why should I join the KofC? As a Knight you can choose the projects with which you wish to be involved in within your own community. What is more, the KofC are dedicated to family life and the many benefits it offers. From insurance to scholarships to service and social activities and programs, all are open to the whole family.
- What are the requirements? Membership in the KofC is open to men 18 years of age or older who are practical (that is, practicing) Catholics.
- What is a practical Catholic? A practical Catholic accepts the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live in accord with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in good standing in the Catholic Church.
- Explain what Degrees are. There are four degrees within the KofC. Each degree ceremony imparts a lesson on the KofC’s core virtues of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism.
- Do I have to purchase Insurance to become a member? No; unlike many fraternal organizations one does not become a member by purchasing insurance. In the KofC a man has to be a member before he may avail himself of the insurance benefit. Purchasing insurance is optional, however; the life insurance and long-term care insurance products offered by the KofC are not only competitively priced, they are among the most solid and highly rated products available anywhere. Standard & Poor’s and A.M. Best, the leading independent agencies that rate insurance companies, give KofC insurance their highest ratings.
