INFORMATION FOR APPLICANT

The question of becoming a Freemason is a matter for very serious consideration and since you have expressed desire to be a member, we deem it advisable that you should be informed on certain points which may affect your decision to apply. In all ages Freemasonry has insisted that men should come to its doors unsolicited and entirely of their own free will and accord. Moreover, those joining in the hope of selfish personal gain will be bitterly disappointed. Freemasonry has for its foundation the great basic principles of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. No Atheist can be made a Mason. Freemasonry is not in any way an insurance Society nor does it provide benefits in case of sickness or death. In a correct and broad sense it is a charitable association, but it only extends such charity as it feels willing

    McGivney cared for his parish in New Haven during a time when it was tremendously difficult to live as a Catholic in United States. In late 19th century Connecticut, fraternal benefit societies became increasingly popular and were enthralling the faithful away from the Church, Catholic immigrants was discriminated against and the death of fathers meant the almost certain ruin of Catholic families. Recognizing a vital, practical need in his community, Fr. Michael J. McGivney gathered a group of men at his parish on October 2nd, 1881. He proposed establishing an organization of laymen, the goal of which was to prevent Catholic men from entering secret societies which contradicted Church teaching, to unify men of the Catholic faith and to provide for the families of deceased members. Fr. McGivney’s ambitious proposal was greatly successful and adopted the name Knights of Columbus. By the grace of God, membership into the organization spread like wild fire, drawing men from all over the state. The Knights revitalized the community’s virtuous service to the Church, each other, and the family. Fr. McGivney’s great vision foresaw and preceded the Second Vatican’s Council proclamation of the “Universal Call to Holiness” which encouraged the empowerment of laypersons to take leadership positions in the…
