Sketch of Alter for New Church
Council 8600 Insurance Agent - Jim Bertine
Father McGivney, established the Knights of Columbus, and with it, a “pass-the-hat” insurance system to protect the Catholic families in his parish. Over time, that system has evolved, and today we stay true to our founding mission through our multi-billion dollars, top-rated insurance program. Members have exclusive access to our insurance program and products, including life insurance, retirement annuities, long-term care insurance, and disability income insurance. The men in our council are no doubt at various stages of life, with varying needs and varying means. Nevertheless, at some point in our lives, surely most of us will look for life insurance protection, retirement products, disability income or long-term care insurance. When you do, why would they look anywhere besides our very own Knights of Columbus? I challenge you to help spread the word of Father McGivney and how one hundred and thirty-five years ago, Father Michael J. McGivney worked to protect Catholic families. I challenge mentors to share this with your new Knights especially if they are Married.
We are honored to have one of the best Field Agents servicing our members and you can find out more information by contacting KofC 8600 Field Agent, Brother James Bertine PGK, FIC, LUTCF, CLTC, at the following: http://www.JimBertine.com, james.bertine@kofc.org ,(703) 845-3402, Fax: (703) 291-8490, 7005 Backlick Court, Suite 100, Springfield, VA 22151
