Knights of Columbus Competition - 8mm film (Duman Archives)

This is a growing collection of film and video footage shot and archived by Richard and Lillian Duman during the 1960s and 1970s documenting special events in the lives of the Duman family members as well as extended families across the United States.

The video files presented in these pages have been digitally transferred from 8mm and Super 8mm film sources, some of which has suffered varying degrees of fading and degradation over the years. The utmost care has been taken to ensure film integrity and to restore the imagery to presentable condition in as much as possible.

The video files presented here have been restored and digitized by Lunarparcel Media.

@kofc4800 Thank you.

In most Knights of Columbus councils, the parish priest is an officer of the council and has access to records for all financial dealings of the council. The priest also provides direction to the council in it's activities. All councils are self sufficient and do not receive money from the parish. In fact, it is commonly the other way around.

It sounds like you need to do some homework on what the Knights of Columbus is all about.

no replacing is needed. the KofC is an independent organization. it is not under the church. however, it helps the church and the community out of funds that come mainly from its members.

@migo53333 Thank you for your commentary on the nature of ignorance. In response, let me elucidate for you with reference to your post. Yes, the mythology of Columbus is not in accord with the true nature of his reportedly despicable character. I did not post in order to honor his name or even that of the Knights - I am no longer a member. I cancelled my membership years ago for personal reasons. I posted this video due to its being a notable part of our family media archives. And that is all.

@DeedsResearcher Hey,

Yeah, I know about Assemblies buying and providing white capes. The Assembly I belong to is only about five years old (I'm approaching my two-year anniversary as a 4th Degree SK myself), and we only have 3 PFN's, not to mention the current one. And one of our PFN's had been a Marshall but has recently been promoted to Master. So, I guess I'm not used to seeing that many white capes at one time.

[DeedsResearcher]

@TorontoJediMaster I don't consider that odd. My own Assembly routinely has as many or more white capes than reds at Wakes, Masses and Parades. Until recently, nobody had ever served more than one year as FN. Our Assembly also would buy each new FN his white cape IF he turned his red cape in to the Assembly. Over the years we've been able to build up a supply of capes for emergency use. It would be nice if all Assemblies did the same.

I'm 4th Degree SK myself.

One thing that strikes me as odd in this video is that there are so many FNs and/or PFNs and comparatively so few red capes. Maybe it's just the camera angle or something.

@lunarparcel In most Assemblies, they wait for others (such as the Council) to request an Honor Guard. When I became Faithful Navigator, I felt it would be a good idea to offer our services. When a highly respected 3rd Degree member passed away, I offered the Honor Guard for the Wake and Funeral. The family was especially thankful, and a couple of them wound up joining the Order. That was not expected, and we were happy to have served at the Wake. A grieving family does not always think to ask.

@DeedsResearcher Thank you. that actually clears up some other stuff I hadn't realized. When I used to belong to a local council ( and remained so up through 3rd degree), I recall a number of events for which 4th degree members partook as Color Guard, but such orchestration was not handled through the council itself. So your insight regarding that makes much more sense. Thanks again.
