Although Pennsylvania State Representative Dr. Richard Saccone (District 39) is not a Catholic and not a member of the Knights of Columbus, he shares a great many beliefs and goals with the Knights.

That being the case, he visits with Council 13832, which meets in Finley Hall of the St Francis of Assisi Church Campus in Union Township, once or twice a year to speak to the members.

On May 28th he met with the Knights in Finley Hall, asking for their continued assistance in "defending our Godly heritage from secular attack." He presented statistical evidence that Pennsylvania is not immune to the moral decay that is plaguing our nation. The evidence presented was frightening and Dr. Saccone lay no small part of the blame on us as a people (including our leaders) in the US ignoring the principals on which our nation was founded.

In his book, God in Our Government, Dr. Saccone reminds us that our history is by no means secular. Our seats of government abound with references to God. God's presence is in our government's documents, on its memorials and in our government buildings. To quote from his book, "There has never been greater need than today for our people to hear the truth of our Godly heritage. There has never been a greater need than today for our people to hear that truth reaffirmed by our leaders."

His comments were applauded by members of the Knights of Columbus – Council 13832.
