As committed as we are to the Catholic Church, so are we to our communities. By actively and financially supporting Special Olympics, by leading the charge in pro-life, or by safeguarding the environment, Knights of Columbus members all over the world have helped countless communities prosper.

Wherever we live, whether New York or British Columbia, we all have our own perceptions of "community." Usually, these perceptions are formed by the concrete reality of the world immediately around us. It may be a bustling metropolis, a town, a tiny village, a large county, a broad rural area. It is the place we call home — with all its good and bad features, its beauty and ugliness, its strengths and weaknesses.

Every individual has a voice in shaping the world around him, and every individual can make that voice heard. Make your voice heard in your community. Do more than throw up your hands in despair over what's wrong with the world. 

Your community offers limitless opportunity for action that can be seen, felt and judged for its true worth. Look for something that's needed and workable in your community — fight poverty, aid individuals with mental retardation, plant a tree, sponsor a blood pressure screening, support law enforcement, campaign for every baby's right to life, help the aged — whatever our community's needs, our members' interests and our council's resources allow.
