Explanation of the Florida State Council Pin 2023-2025

Monstrance with a Representation of the Eucharist: The Eucharist is the foundation of the Principles of the Order, especially the Principle of Fraternity. The Monstrance symbolizes the ongoing National Eucharistic Revival.

The Immaculate Heart and Chaste Heart: The two Hearts represent Mary and Joseph, both of whom have special places within the Knights of Columbus. Together with Jesus in the representation of the Eucharist, these symbolize the Holy Family as the model to which all Knights and their families should aspire.

The Motto: Veni Sancte Spiritus (Come Holy Spirit). Inspired by the flames on the Immaculate Heart and Chaste Heart, this motto challenges us to let the Holy Spirit into our lives to empower us in our mission as Knights of Columbus.

May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, Rest in Peace; And may the Perpetual Light Shine Upon him. Amen.
