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.

Mass Card prayed by the Monks at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit. Please see information at the Bereavement link at the left.

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
