Seven men joined the Knights Of Columbus at the exemplification ceremony at Santa Maria de La Paz this past Wednesday.

The new exemplification ceremony inducts new members into the first, second and third degrees at the same time, where they are entrusted with a rosary, a Knights of Columbus pin and a cross.

State Deputy, Anthony Salazar, spoke about what it means to be a man in the Knights Of Columbus. He further explained how joining the Knights means being a better Catholic, a better husband and a man others can rely on.

The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic fraternal service organization. Founded 130 years ago by the Venerable Father Michael McGivney at St. Mary's parish in New Haven, CT, the Knights uphold four key principles as pillars of the order: Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism.
