Now that Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to North America is over, the question is, where do we go from here? As Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson said, the answer for the Knights of Columbus is simple: “We live out our Christian witness as the Holy Father has called us to do.” We do that by witnessing to love in every aspect of our lives — from our families, to our work, to the charitable projects we undertake Orderwide. And, he added, we do this by asking qualified Catholic men to join us and help us strengthen our Church.

The theme for the 2008-09 membership campaign “Follow Me — Help Us Build Up the Church” follows this charge.
