Faith in Action Program

Our goal is to strengthen our men and their families in the faith. when we entered the order, we werereminded to constantly inform ourselves in the Catholic faith. This formation goes beyond mere facts or religious practice to an authentic connection with a loving god and his son Jesus Christ. Programs in thiscategory are designed to draw us closer to god and the Church in a tangible and meaningful way — whether through helping the future shepherds of the mother Church, quiet contemplation in a spiritual reflection program, or honoring mary, mother of god.These programs should strive to arm us forthespiritual battlethat our men and families face daily

Faith Programs: RSVP Seminarians, Clergy Appreciation Night, Council Rosary Prayer, KC Holy Hour Adoration, Rays of Enlightenment Divine Mercy Conference, Spiritual Reflection, Corporate Communion, Our Lady of Fatima Procession

Put simply, programs in this category are developed for families, by families. Father McGivney sought to strengthen the familial bond of father to mother and children to parents. Catholics often struggle with thereality that they do not have the opportunity to socialize and/or pray with other faith-filled Catholic families. it can be quite a challenge to continue to ground ourselves and raise our children in the faith when thereis such limited exposure. our family programs are an evolution and response to a society that seeks to weaken the bonds of family. we must makeitclearthat society should value a family that is faithful to god and each other. Father McGivney’s vision for family life was not only financial and material aid but also spiritual strength, as holiness is the calling of all baptized Christians. Put plainly, the majority of our time is easily spent in secular circles unless we intentionally create ways to live the domestic church. These programs help us to live this call.

As Knights of Columbus, we are called to serve our family and our god. our first principle is Charity, at home with our families or in our communities. This is a critical part of our Knights of Columbus mission. Have you ever wondered, “How can i make my community better?” individuals can do great things on their own but there is something bigger than self when Knights of Columbus members come together as one through their council and accomplish great things. Councils that conduct these programs are positively shaping their communities by addressing the needs of its citizens.

Community Programs: Leave No Neighbor Behind Food Drives, KC Essay Scholarship Contest, Church Bazaar, Habitat for Humanity, Pillows and Blankets, Parks Youth Ranch GO FISH event, KC Basketball Free Throw Championship,  SLCS Furniture Move, Wreaths Across America (Wreath Day), Mamie Goerge Food Drive Distribution, Social Concerns, CASA Home Tours

The urgency of the threat to a culture of life cannot be misunderstood. respect for the dignity of life demands a commitment to human rights across a broad spectrum. Both as Knights of Columbus and as followers of Christ, “Catholics must becommitted to the defense of life in all its stages and in every condition” (st. John Paul ii, 1995). The Knights of Columbus defends the dignity of each human being at every stage of life. Knights work together to build a culture of life and a civilization of love. your council should stand ready to assist any pregnant woman in need, care for the elderly, aid the handicapped, empowerthose with special needs to realize their full potential and bring attention to the injustices of abortion, embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia and assisted suicide.
