July 2025 Council Message

This month is the start of our new Fraternal Year together as Knights — a big congratulations to all new council leadership! This is always a time of new beginnings, when councils can start fresh and reassess where they stand in relation to their goals.

This should apply to us individually, too, including personal financial goals. Are you on track to reach them? Now is the perfect time to meet with me to review the existing insurance plan you have in place or to help you take the initial steps to create one.

I invite you to meet with me every year as your family grows and changes, milestones are reached, and financial needs adjust. As your brother Knight, it’s my privilege to carry out Father McGivney’s mission by serving your family and helping you gain a clear picture of your financial protection needs, no matter your current situation.

If I can be honest, I think this is one of the most underappreciated benefits of membership in the Knights of Columbus, and if you’ve never taken advantage of getting a complimentary financial needs review, I encourage you to make this the year! With a personalized review using top-tier financial software, I can give you a transparent illustration of your finances with insights on how your current situation aligns to your future objectives.

Together, we’ll review your current coverage and identify potential protection gaps, ensuring your plan aligns with your goals. If you’re interested in investments that are aligned with Catholic teaching, I can also connect you with Knights of Columbus Asset Advisors, which helps all faith-based investors prepare for retirement, build wealth and beat inflation with additional sources of income.

Knights of Columbus, your premier partner for financial services, is for brother Knights, by brother Knights. I’m here to partner with you. Please see me and we’ll set up time to work together to financially safeguard your family.

Again, welcome to all our new council leadership! Thank you for serving in this role — I’m excited to work with you to serve our brother Knights and their families.

Thank you!
