Grand Knights Comments

Happy Fourth of July Brother Knights and Families of Council 4226,

As we celebrate this Fourth of July—and especially this historic 250th anniversary of our nation's founding—I extend my heartfelt wishes for a joyful, safe, and blessed Independence Day to each of you and your families.

Today, we give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, especially the freedom to live our faith openly, to proclaim the truth, and to walk each day with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

As Knights of Columbus, we are called to think of others before ourselves through our principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. In many ways, we are inspired by our Founding Fathers, who were willing to sacrifice everything for the cause of liberty.

Thomas Paine wrote in The American Crisis:

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

May we never be "summer soldiers" in our faith or in our service. Instead, may we courageously answer Christ's call to serve our Lord, our families, our parish, our community, and our country with steadfast hearts.

Thank you for all you do as Brother Knights. Your faithful service is a witness to Christ's love and to the ideals upon which both our Order and our nation were founded.

May God continue to bless you and your families.

God bless America, and may God continue to guide our nation.

Vivat Jesus!
