Did you know this about the IW Knights of Columbus? 

Dante wanders lost and alone in “a dark wilderness” at the beginning of the Inferno in a colorized engraving by Gustave Doré.
Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly delivers his annual report from the Supreme Council headquarters in New Haven, Conn., during the 139th Supreme Convention.

Finally, the Supreme Knight concludes his remarks from the recent annual Knights of Columbus Supreme Convention with following comments:

"Despite a difficult year, Supreme Knight Kelly reported insurance sales were strong, with Knights agents selling $7.4 billion in new insurance.  The Knights now have more than $116 billion of insurance in force protecting Catholic families.

The supreme knight also reported the Knights of Columbus Charitable Fund is off to a strong start: 'After just 18 months, we already have $14 million in assets, and we anticipate robust growth in the coming months.'

Supreme Knight Kelly concluded his report with a final word on how St. Joseph and Blessed Michael McGivney can serve as examples for all Knights in leading through service and courage to overcome the hurdles facing our families, the Church and our culture.

'Let us summon the creative courage to fulfill the calling that our Lord has placed on our hearts.  And let us take comfort in the knowledge that the work of our Order is far from over,' he said. 'The work of the Knights of Columbus is only beginning — and we are the ones who will carry it forward.'”
