YOUNG KNIGHTS OF ERRANTRY: AN APOSTOLATE OF THE CONFRATERNITY OF PENITENTS

 

History has proven that a bad idea can influence and subvert the hearts and minds of people everywhere and that children are not immune from its persuasion. The philosophy of relativism has an adverse effect on faith and morals and is indifferent to personal behavior. The way to overcome a bad idea is with prayer joined with a good idea. The concept of a good idea starts by teaching young men and women that faith and morals make a difference and that it is a noble commitment to live by moral precepts.

The Young Knights of Errantry is a new organization for young people ages 7 to 18 who are willing to try to make a positive difference in the world. Young Knights of Errantry learn that they can change the world for the better by the good example of their actions, thus helping to transform society from a “culture of death” into a culture of life. When Young Knights mature into adults, they live by their oath of honor, as a Knight, as they continue to serve the Lord and humanity with the honor and courage of a Knight of Errantry.

Neither Young Knights Errant nor their leaders, called Knights Errant, need to be members of the Confraternity of Penitents. Much as many religious Orders work with the homeless, run soup kitchens, care for the sick, or teach in schools, the Confraternity is organizing and promoting the Young Knights as an apostolate to others.

Knight Errant Awards may be presented to those who exemplify the ideals of a Knight Errant. Information is on this link.
