Message From The Membership Director

Terry Fruge’, Membership Director

As we move down the paths of our lives, there are moments that define us and become indelible parts of our memories. It could be a
wedding, the birth of a child, the passing of a loved one, or something as simple as a sunset. These are the experiences that add up to become the sum of our lifetime’s experience.

For the 2012-2013 fraternal year, every member and every council is asked to show qualified Catholic men that becoming a member of the Knights of Columbus will be their best “Experience of a Lifetime”. Not only is it our goal to make a difference in the lives of our current members but it is also our goal to make a difference in the lives of potential members and their families by offering them the opportunity to be of service to our Church and to our communities.

There is a place in the Knights of Columbus for every qualified man, whether he has a huge amount of time to volunteer or only a few hours a year. Regardless of what his interests are, the Order has something to offer him and his family.

As we capture and extend the momentum over the past seven years in Texas we also endeavor to expand the vision of our founder, Father Michael J. McGivney. His vision gave birth to an organization that today numbers more that 1.8 million members in over 15,000 councils throughout the world. This includes over 97,600 members and over 700 councils in Texas.

Let’s continue the momentum by inviting qualified men to join the Knights of Columbus in what will be the “Experience of a Lifetime”. Councils that conduct more degrees will find that they conduct better meetings. Councils that conduct better meetings will have more members attending meetings. More attendance at meetings brings more new recruiters to the forefront. More recruiters translates into more Knights
