How “Vivat Jesu” became the KC Motto 

When the late Supreme Chaplain Bishop Charles Greco was a seminarian he was deeply moved while reading the story of St. Bernadine of Siena .  He adopted the saint’s favorite prayer – “May Jesus Live”, in its Latin form “Vivat Jesu”, to use as the motto for his life and priesthood.  When he became Bishop of Alexandria in 1946, Bishop Greco chose the same phrase as his Episcopal motto.

 Our past Supreme Knight, Virgil Dechant, thought our order ought to be devoted to the name of Jesus and chose Bishop Greco’s motto “Vivat Jesu” as a greeting.  The response is “SEMPER”, meaning ‘always’.  By its use, the Knights help bring back the love and devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus.

News from our Worthy Insurance Agent - Steve Znoi - Please Review

Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.

Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.

Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.

Had no army, yet kings feared Him.

He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.

He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.

He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

Feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us.

In the Bible, Jesus says..."If you deny me Before man,

I will deny you before my Father in Heaven."

GOD BLESS YOU ALL
