"LIFT HIGH THE CROSS"

Our Programs that we conduct at our Council, District, Diocese and State should always center around good wholesome Church, Family and Community events.  We should focus on this fraternal year's theme "Lift High The Cross" as we develop and conduct our programs this year and never lose sight of who and what we are, the Texas Knights of Columbus - a Catholic, fraternal organization established to help our Church, our Families and those around us.

"EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS" = "MEMBERSHIP GROWTH AND RETENTION"
