Its just a community service fraternal organization... just like any other.. just its for Catholic Men... It really is the same as any other fraternal community service organization.
As a member you will be doing the same sort of community service things you would do in nearly all organizations.. helping your local community... Yes the organization is tied to the catholic church but hardly is its charter or the things any different.. that’s like saying the St Vincent De Paul society is majorly different in what its goals are than the Salvation Army.. because one is tied to the Catholic Church and the other isn’t.
Yes they are tied to the church, so you aren’t going to find them volunteering at Planned Parenthood.. but it hardly changes what their purpose is beyond any other fraternal organization. In fact, most places I’ve been there is usually a lot of political infighting between the KofC and the local Church.
Let me put it like this. The K of C is a fraternal service
organization, true. It has a religious aspect to it which
makes it similar to the Masons. HOWEVER, the Kiwanis, Lions, Elks, etc DO NOT have a religious element to it as do
the Masons and the K of C although they are service clubs.
