Service Programs | |
|
• Church / Vocations Since the founding of the Knights of Columbus, council members have been and continue to be an important asset to the Catholic Church, by taking an active role in assisting the Bishops and Priests as they minister to our spiritual needs. Our Church and Vocations programs encourage us to utilize our time and talents to support our parishes and pastors. Our goal is to create church programs that promote Catholicism and strengthen our Faith. Activities should promote devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, vocation awareness and a working relationship with our Priests and all the Religious of our Church.

• Community / Pro Life A Community is a body of individuals with common interests living in a set area. Our community activities program demonstrates our support and concern for our local communities and beyond. As a Catholic fraternal organization, we are strong in our faith when we are of service to others in need. We must continue to be strong defenders of life, from conception to natural death. As Knights, we are "Strong in Faith and Service" and prayer is our greatest advocate; focus attention on praying for the end to the evil of abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, embryonic stem cell research and human cloning. Promote a sense and support for the "culture of life".

• Council / Public Relations The Council Activities adheres to the principles of our Order. The activities within this program promote a more vibrant council, attracting participation as well as help to expand membership. Working, playing and praying together creates the positive atmosphere that will make all better Catholic men. Public Relations are so very important to everything we as Knights of Columbus do. It reflects our attitudes to the men of our councils and the people in our Catholic parishes and communities. Public Relations are two-fold: Communicating with our members and communicating with the people of our parishes and communities and informing them of the good things we do throughout the year (i.e. scholarship presentations, youth activities, charitable activities, etc.).

• Family / Fraternal Family is the mainstay of our life, for without it we would not be who we are or where we are today. We were all born into a family, we were all raised in a church and faith family, we have a family of friends and work associates, we have our immediate family, and we have our K of C family. Our Strong in Faith & Service Family Activity Program promotes the most important of these family units, 'our immediate family' and our 'Catholic and Faith family'. If we are to live and enjoy a life of love, peace, unity, and faith, we must do it through the family. These family units allow us to share these gifts and fashion us into the type of family that God created and wants us to strive to be, the Holy Family.

• Youth / Squires "We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future". This quote, by our 32nd president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, is what the Knights of Columbus youth program represents. The youth of our community and parish are our future. Just as you would invest your paycheck to pay dividends down the road, Knights of Columbus councils should invest time and energy to build strong, moral, decent young men and women to be our future. The youth are put to the test each day to follow the right path. We, members of the largest Catholic fraternal organization in the world, can be guides to these youth to point them in the right directions. Youth Programs that your council holds can make a difference in the lives of our future generations.
