7 Famous Men You Probably Didn't Realize Were Knights

---

Did you know that these 7 men were/are all members of the Knights of Columbus?

• Mike Ditka 

• President John F. Kennedy 

• Vince Lombardi 

• Babe Ruth 

• Venerable Fulton J. Sheen 

• Eduardo Verastegui 

• Cardinal Donald Wuerl

In addition to these well-known men, currently, there are seven saints and four blesseds who were also members of the Knights of Columbus.

Today, nearly 2 million men are a part of the Knights, and though their names may not appear on the news, they are considered to be heroes by those who know them. Inspiring military personnel, a Special Olympic athlete, and a group of Notre Dame University students are just a few of the men involved in this great ministry whose stories should be shared with the world. 

The Knights of Columbus are sharing the stories of these "Everyday Heroes" through a multi-part video series that will be made available online. Each motivational video will showcase a Knights of Columbus hero and the charitable work he does in the community. "Everyday Heroes" will give viewers a glimpse of the vast array of charities that the Knights of Columbus support, including by donating more than 75 million hours of hands-on service each year.
