A Warrior for Christ
Joe Reali signed up for the Knights during a membership drive at his parish in Woodbury, New York, in late 2014, but died suddenly only a few weeks later, before he could make his First Degree. Nevertheless, he embodied what it means to be a Knight of Columbus in his desire to serve others and win souls for Christ. Learn more about Joe Reali below, as well as about how Knights from the U.S. to Ukraine are advancing the Order’s mission of charity and evangelization.
