\n At Fr. Thomas Carmody Council #6498 in Normal, Illinois, you will find\n brother Knights working to fulfill the central mission of the Order:\n performing charitable works, serving the Church, supporting brother\n Knights and their families, acting for the good of their country, and\n giving aid to widows, orphans, the sick, and those in need.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n This is Father McGivney\u2019s dream, echoing across the century and\n living today in the hearts of his brother Knights and all those whose\n lives they touch.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Vivat Jesus!\n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n \n\n
