INSURANCE NEWS

For this month’s column, I thought a little "Life Insurance 101" might be beneficial.

The most basic plan of permanent life insurance protection - whole life insurance - calls for premiums to be paid for your entire life, or to age 100. You may also consider another permanent life insurance product – one with guaranteed cash values – that offers a limited period of premium payments. The Knights of Columbus offers three permanent life insurance products for which premiums do not have to be paid for all of life.

"Twenty Pay Life" is exactly as the name suggests – a permanent plan with premiums payable for 20 years. After the premi-ums are paid for the 20 years, the plan is ? "paid up" and no more premiums are due. Unlike its term counterpart, however, the plan stays in force, the death benefit remains intact and the guaranteed cash value continues to grow.

Another such plan is our ?  "Life Paid Up at 65." With this permanent product you pay premiums until you reach age 65. Then, premiums stop (just in time for retirement), but the plan remains very much in force.

Finally, the ultimate in limited pay is our Single Premium Life product. Imagine buying life insurance – permanent life insur-ance – and only paying one single premium? It’s possible.

I have detailed information on all of these products. At your convenience, I’ll meet with you and your wife to perform a free, custom-tailored needs analysis, to help determine which of our many life insurance products is right for you and your family.

RESPECT LIFE

Dear Brother Knights,

Thanks to all for your participation in the MH Drive. Although we may not think of it as such, the MH Drive is a Life event celebrating the unique graces that people with special needs have brought into our lives. Our commission as Knights is to defend life from conception to natural death, and all stations in between. The MH Drive continues to remind me of the sanctity of all human life.

Lastly, please mark your calendars! On Sunday afternoon, 15 November 2009, at 3 pm, Joe Scheidler, the National Director of the Pro-Life Action League, will speak at our hall on the subject of Social Justice and the Catholic Church. Do not miss this op-portunity to hear the man whom Pat Buchanon described as, "the Green Beret of the Pro-Life movement." There's no Bears' game on the 15th, so let's jam the hall in support of Joe, a fellow 4th degree Knight, and the cause of life he so courageously defends!! We're expecting a good size crowd, so, please join us!! Details to follow.

Vivat Jesus,

Jim & Sue McPherrin

Pro-Life Chaircouple
