Carlos X. Martinez, Programs Director
The Knights of Columbus, initiated in 1882 by Blessed Fr. McGivney, have remained successful and sustainable due to the member’s Fraternal Program activity. This year’s program sub-theme is we are the gear of this blessed act of service that brings sustainability to the Order.
Supreme has multiple suggested programs for the Councils to follow, but the available programs are only limited by the depth of the Council members innovative, Faith based, Fraternal driven imagination. Supreme has Faith in Action, which is the driving force of our Council Programs. This fraternal year, Supreme is focused on The National Eucharistic Revival, which is promoting Eucharist processions. Please meet with your Pastor to align and promote a Eucharist procession with the congregation of your Council’s Parish.
Programs as a major component of attaining Star Council is now consolidated into only two main forms (Thank You Supreme!) that are required for submission, Form SP-7, The Columbian Award and Form 10784 Fraternal Activity Report. Please be advised of the following minimum requirements when identifying and submitting your program activities to attain the Columbian Award. Submitting 4 activities per outlined programs, Faith, Family, Community and Life for a total of 16 activities/credits.
Please strive to keep the members of your Councils active by participating in the Programs set forth. This will ensure that your Council will continue its success and growth through membership and fraternal actions. Catholic men enjoy, correction, They LOVE working together to support the needs of the Council, Parish, and Catholic Communities. Allowing the Programs gear to function, in union with all the other Directorships, as the sustainer of our Blessed Order we allow Christ to be Our Light to guide our Councils to attain Star Council.
