Welcome to the Second New Jersey District on the Internet. Come here to find out the latest information on happenings in the District over the 2008-2009 Columbian Year. Please check back frequently, as content is updated regularly.

Do It for Joe!  Joe Cummings was undeniably one of Father McGivney's miracles, and the Guild was always something that was very important to him. As a way of honoring him upon his passing, I encourage all Sir Knights who have not already done so to join the Father McGivney Guild.  Currently, less that 10% of the state's membership belongs.  This must change.  To join, go to the Father McGivney Guild site and fill out an online form.  It is simple to do and free.

One Nation Under God.  This is an issue upon which we must all be united and vocal.  We, the 85% of the population that believes in God, must not let the other 15% tell us what we can and cannot say in free exercise of our rights under the First Amendment.  Please visit our Programs page for ways of getting this message out and visit the Patriot Files Annex for some words of wisdom from Red Skelton, encouraging others to do so.

Fourth Degree Raising Money for Incarnation Dome. Fourth Degree Knights are raising funds to offset the cost of the Knights of Columbus Incarnation Dome at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. 

The Order committed $1 million to the dome, which was dedicated on Nov. 17, 2007, and is challenging Fourth Degree assemblies to raise half of this amount. Faithful navigators have mobilized their assemblies to fulfill this pledge, which is already off to a good start.As of mid-February, Knights have raised more than $65,000 toward their $500,000 goal. A majority of the funds has been donated by Fourth Degree assemblies, though Knights have also received money from individual donors and from K of C councils with which the assemblies are affiliated.

 

Get Your Own Web Site!  As you have seen, a web site is a great way to communicate with members.  This site, as well as the one for the First New Jersey District, is hosted by a company called 1and1.  If you are considering a web site for your assembly, feel free to look into what they have to offer.

Ignore the Hoaxes.  We must fight the good fight and speak out, but let us not go off in wrong directions.  Please see these links about some hoaxes circulating the Internet:
