Worthy Grand Knight:
As you know a council's good works and charitable activities are a key to its success. The more events or wider outreach a council has each year in its parish and community, the more lives it touches, the more members it keeps engaged, and the more prospective members it attracts. As you are aware, our Knights of Columbus activities and programs fall into six categories: Church, Community, Council, Culture of Life, Family and Youth. Every community has needs, and Knights of Columbus councils should help address those needs. One reason that we have asked every council to recruit one new member per month is each new member will be a new source of ideas and another volunteer to help others. Every new member increases the resources available to council in its charitable outreach: more food and clothing collected for needy families, more successful charitable fund-raisers, and more people whose lives are improved.
For generations, Knights of Columbus have served their communities. The efforts of council members united in charity and fraternity are a testament to our Catholic faith. This is how charity evangelizes, which is our mission and way of life.
Here are some reminders of the important upcoming events that we hope your council is involved in hosting:
October 20-21: Orderwide membership drive in honor of council chaplains: This is a time to be visible in the parish and invite potential members to join our Order. Be sure to order materials and conduct an open house.
October 22-28: Orderwide First Degree Ceremonials: Welcome new members and make it convenient for interested candidates to join the Order.
November 24-25: Orderwide Corporate Communion Weekends: Invite all council members to attend Mass and received Communion as a group during the Solemnity of Christ the King. Sponsor a social event for the entire parish following the Mass.
Guide your council to be a Star Council or Double Star Council this fraternal year. It will be a great accomplishment for both you and your council. It's easy to do using the Power of One, or link directly to: www.kofc.org/recruit1.
Has your Council recruited ONE MEMBER PER COUNCIL PER MONTH?
Vivat Jesus!
