Juvenile Insurance
Insurance on my children? Why would I do THAT?
Because…
1. Only God knows when ANY of us are to be taken home.
2. You can guarantee them the right to purchase more insurance no matter what happens to their health in the future.
3. As children progress through life, there will come a time that life insurance will be a necessity and because premiums increase with age, they will never get insurance for what they can right now. You will be helping to keep their insurance costs down in the future.
4. Permanent life insurance provides a future cash value, which can be significant, and you will be helping them to financial security in the future.
5. It’s a nice feeling to purchase something for children that will not only last a lifetime, but get better every year. It will never break, rust, wear out or be out-dated. They may not be able to appreciate it now, but I know that one day, maybe when they have their own children or grandchildren, they certainly will.

Long Term Care
At a time where many companies have pulled out of the Long Term Care business, have stopped issuing new policies or have raised their premium rates for existing policyholders, the Knights of Columbus has not only stayed committed to our Long Term Care program, but has enhanced it.
The new Pathway Provider Program that comes with our Long Term Care program enables you to receive Long Term Care services at a discounted rate. This means your benefit dollars go even further than before. These discounted services extend to the other members of the family including the remaining spouse, parents, parent in-laws and dependent children, even if just the member or his spouse holds a Knights of Columbus Long Term Contract.
Protect your assets, protect your independence and protect your families with Long Term Care from the Knights of Columbus.
Charity
Charity is always our first point of order and the Knights of Columbus is able to perform acts of charity at a high level because of our insurance programs. Recently, our Order has pledged 10 million dollars to help those affected by the Gulf Coast Tragedy, Katrina.
If you are an insured member of our Order, you can take pride in the fact that besides helping yourself and your family, you are also helping other families who are in desperate need.
Insurance for Brother Knights by Brother Knights
In 1882, Father Michael J. McGivney saw firsthand the devastation of a family caused by the death of the breadwinner. From his vision, the Knights of Columbus insurance program was created to provide financial security for its members and their families. Today, we have more than $83 billion of insurance in force, and 1,400 full-time brother agents dedicated to carrying out his vision.

Why Meet with Your Agent?
As a brother Knight, your field agent has a special perspective on your situation. He meets with families just like yours every day. He wants to learn about your goals and dreams, so he can tailor a comprehensive insurance plan to protect you and your family.
Many members do not realize the services their agent can provide. Some of these include:
• Free insurance needs analysis;
• Advice on estate preservation and mortgage protection;
• Retirement planning;
• Tax-deferred savings options
• Discussion of disability income insurance and long-term care needs.
In a world of uncertainty, we offer guarantees of safety and security to Catholic families.
As an agent, Frank meets with each brother Knight to learn his goals and desires. He interprets the needs and hopes of each family to craft the foundation for a custom designed financial framework. The result is an easy-to-understand plan for the member’s future using the top-rated products of our Order.
It’s Frank’s goal to “live up to Father McGivney’s dream and to be there when fellow Knights and their families are in need.”
