What is so valuable that, throughout the course of history:
kings and queens, emperors and politicians, even Popes and paupers have gone to
the ends of the earth to covet? What is so valuable that men have been willing to sell their
souls to obtain? What is the one thing that even Warren Buffet and Bill Gates
combined can’t buy? My friends, what is the one thing that even you will NEVER
have enough of? Four simple letters. TIME Do we ever have enough time
with the ones we love? Do we ever have enough time
in the day to accomplish the most important things? Do we ever spend enough time
in every day with our Lord and Savior? Do we know the hour and day when we will have no more time? Will someone ring a bell the day or week before we have no
more time? Will you wake up tomorrow morning? Is there still enough time? Have you spent enough time
planning for this eventuality? Do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that your family will
have the resources they need to fill the financial void you leave behind? Will they know that you took the time to show them that you cared enough to meet their needs? Put your watch to your ear and listen closely to the tick-tock of the second hand…Those seconds
are gone. That time is gone,
forever. You are now seconds
closer to the day you hear those words from your doctor… You are now seconds
closer to the moment you will hear these words from a priest "Through
this holy anointing may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace
of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord who
frees you from sin save you and raise you up." your last rites. You are now seconds
closer to the moment you can no longer make changes in how you will be
remembered. Some of you are like me, you’ve buried grandparents and
maybe a couple of friends (albeit, too early.)
Some of you have buried wives…some sadly children…some sadly
grandchildren. Will you be remembered as one who did the right things and
made the right plan for that moment in time? Take time for the
ones you love. Take time to spend with your Lord and Savior in prayer and adoration. Take the time to
meet with your Field Agent. Take the
time to put the right plans in place. Take the time…for
the ones you love. Brothers, take
the time to do what is right.

About the Knights of ColumbusThe Our Lady of Lourdes Knights of Columbus Council was chartered as Council # 13080 on February 25, 2002. The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 by a 29-year-old parish priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, in the basement of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Connecticut. Today, more than a century later, the Knights of Columbus has become the largest lay organization in the Catholic Church. The Order has been called "the strong right arm of the Church," and has been praised by popes, presidents and other world leaders, for support of the Church, programs of evangelization and Catholic education, civic involvement and aid to those in need. Council 13080 is a subordinate of the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council and the Nebraska State Council.
Our Mission:CHARITY, UNITY, FRATERNITY, AND PATRIOTISMKnights of Columbus are Catholic gentlemen committed to the exemplification of charity, unity, fraternity, patriotism, and defense of the priesthood. The Order is consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Order is unequivocal in its loyalty to the Pope, the Vicar of Christ on earth. It is firmly committed to the protection of human life, from conception to natural death, and to the preservation and defense of the family. It was on these bedrock principles that the Order was founded over a century ago and remains true to them today. Father McGivney's founding vision for the Order also included establishing a life insurance program to provide for the widows and orphans of deceased members. The Order's insurance program has expanded substantially to serve more effectively the Knights' growing membership. Year after year, the Knights of Columbus has earned the highest possible quality ratings for financial soundness from A.M. Best and Standard & Poor's. The Order provides the highest quality insurance and annuity products to its members, along with many other fraternal benefits. If you want to join this great organization of Catholic men, it is likely that there is a local council near you. There you will find brother Knights working to fulfill the central mission of the Order: striving in charitable works; serving the Church and unified in following its teachings; supporting brother Knights in their temporal and spiritual needs; acting for the good of their country; and giving aid to widows, orphans, the sick and the poor. This is Father McGivney's dream, echoing across the century, and living today in the hearts of his brothers and all of those they touch. Vivat Jesus!
Our Founder, Fr. McGivney
