FAITH IN ACTION PROGRAMS

The Knights of Columbus offers men a place to lead their families and communities in faith and service and put their Faith into Action. Knights of Columbus members, parishes and families have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference through 32 Supreme Council-recommended programs.

COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

Knights are called to serve others. Our first principle is Charity – at home with our families and in our communities. When Knights of Columbus members come together as one through their council and parish, they accomplish great things.

FAMILY PROGRAMS

Father McGivney sought to strengthen the familial bond of father to mother and children to parents. His vision for family life was not only financial and material aid but also spiritual strength. The majority of our time is easily spent in secular circles unless we intentionally create ways to live the domestic church. These programs, created for families by families, help us to live this call.

SAFE ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMS

The Knights of Columbus Safe Environment Program is operated in conjunction with PRAESIDIUM, which specializes in preventing sexual abuse in organizations that serve youth and vulnerable adults.

LIFE PROGRAMS

“Catholics must be committed to the defense of life in all its stages and in every condition” (St. John Paul II, 1995). The urgency of the threat to a culture of life in our world cannot be misunderstood. The Knights of Columbus vigorously defends the dignity of each human being at every stage of life. Councils and parishes can work to build a culture of life and a civilization of love through these important programs.

FAITH PROGRAMS

Our goal is to strengthen men and their families in the Catholic faith. Formation in our faith goes beyond mere facts or religious practice to an authentic connection with a loving God and his son Jesus Christ. Programs in this category are designed to draw us closer to God and the Church in a tangible and meaningful way.

2020 - 2021 FRATERNAL PLANNER

This Fraternal Planner includes updates, but it largely contains schedules and activities that worked well in the past. Given the uncertainties and challenges of the current pandemic, it is understood that councils must adapt to new norms as the year progresses. Use this planner as a guide to develop a fraternal plan for the coming year, then modify activities along the way as required to best fit the needs of local communities and parishes.
