St. Joseph Parish is blessed to have Knights of Columbus Hanover Council #871 seated firmly in our Parish's ministry. With over 190 Brother Knights in our ranks here at St. Joseph, we offer service to our parish in volunteer manpower, philanthropic financial resources, and in our support to important Catholic ministries addressing our faith, our family, our community, and protection of life. These four areas of concern are the thrust of the Knights of Columbus' 2019 "Faith in Action" ……. it's our current mission to meet Jesus' call to love one another. We ask more Catholic gentlemen to step up and join us in these "Faith in Action" efforts. It's not overwhelming to become a member of Council #871 here at St. Joseph…and you'll be glad you did! I can be reached to inquire about joining our Council and also about your interest in the Fraternal Benefits. Benefits with insurance and guaranteed fixed annuity options for protecting your family, or investments, or your retirement savings.
A big “hello” from Ken Zinn to fellow Knights in Hanover Council #871. Effective February 1st, I’ve accepted the responsibility to serve the Brotherhood in a new role as Field Agent for Knights of Columbus Insurance and Retirement Fraternal Benefits. I feel blessed knowing my work will surround me with men and families of fine character and Catholic values. Not every worker has that advantage. For instance, it’s great to attend a general insurance agency meeting or product training event that starts with a prayer. I serve Brother Knights and their families in Hanover Council #871, St. Vincent de Paul #14865, and McSherrystown Council #2551 - reviewing and servicing Fraternal Benefits that every Knight of Columbus member is eligible to consider. It’s a major feature of membership in the Order. Father McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus in 1882 and the financial security of his Catholic families was his utmost concern. I look forward to a contact with each and every Knight in Council #871 during 2018 to review your K of C Fraternal Benefit opportunities. My phone number is 717-633-9876 and email address: ken.zinn@kofc.org
…ARE THEY GUARANTEED?
Although we may be best known for our fine Whole Life, Term Life, & Disability Income Insurance Products, another Fra-ternal Benefit of the Knights of Columbus are Guaranteed Annuity Options for Brother Knights and their spouses who are longer-term investors or have Company or Individual Retirement Plans in place for their future. Currently, the Knights of Columbus are paying 2.5% on new annuity investments. With interest rates trending upwards, our annuity rate just moved up ¼ % in April. This current Knights of Columbus annuity rate might compare favorably to your current guaranteed investments invested somewhere else. Many Knights have told me their CD’s have lagged below that rate in recent interest earnings. It’s important to remember that many IRA, 401k, or investment portfolio holdings labeled “fixed” or “income” are many times not “guaranteed”……. All investments with the Knights of Columbus are guaranteed with a record of reliability dating back to our founding in 1882. With recent market volatility, nearly everyone should consider at least a portion of their investments for this kind of long term guaranteed investment. Your “rollovers” do not need to be the entire investment portfolio. Maybe we should talk about it and find out what’s best for you and your future financial security.

Did October give you the jitters? I'm not talking about jitters from haunted house visits or the trick or treaters that visited your neighborhood. As we witnessed this month in the investment markets, there can be some volatility and possibly downturns in stock and bond type investments. Some people called it a correction but others say what we saw was only a "burp" - the correction is still ahead of us. By most opinions, US investors have ridden a "Bull" market since March of 2009. - one of the longest in American history. Some folks find the economic future uncertain. Will Rogers, the American Humorist, is credited with the quote: "I'm more interested in the return of my money than the return on my money." It's no joke! The Knights of Columbus prides itself in offering only guaranteed retirement and portfolio investments to its members and families. If you are feeling the jitters in your preset investments, let's set up a meeting to show you how you can protect the right portion of your assets or savings and get a respectable return on guaranteed money. Not a Knight of Columbus member yet? Let's talk about becoming a member to gain access to the advantages of Knights of Columbus investments and security in our life, long-term care, and disability insurance offerings.
