“Father McGivney’s founding vision for the Order also included a life insurance program to provide for the widows and orphans of deceased members.” http://www.kofc.org/un/en/about/history/

We as Knights are bound to take care of our brothers’ widow and orphans. Let’s not thwart our obligation we made by forgetting the bereaving widow and orphans.
