News & Announcements
Honor Guard benefit available
It’s a difficult subject to discuss, but it’s something that we all must face -- some day, we all face certain death.
Members of the Knights of Columbus, and immediate family members of 3rd degree Knights, are entitled to a 4th degree Honor Guard. At the request of the family the Marquette Assembly #188 will initiate arrangements for a wake or funeral Honor Guard.
Our Council has arranged with local funeral homes and both parishes to include this benefit in their funeral planning with the family. However with the many details involved, this benefit may be overlooked or passed over. As a reminder, ensure that your family members are aware of your wishes.
Also if you know of a council member who has passed, please notify our Grand Knight via email at kofc12497.gk@gmail.com. Due to the size of our two Parishes and Council membership, we may not always be aware of a brother knight passing; so please notify our Grand Knight as soon as possible. The Grand Knight will then contact the Marquette Assembly Faithful Navigator and Color Corp Commander who will arrange the service if requested (and only if requested) by the family.
