Membership Growth is critical to the longevity of the Knights of Columbus and our impact on local parishes and communities. What does successful recruitment look like? This session on Church Drive recruitment will help guide you and your council in making a positive appeal to the men and families of your parishes. We will walk through practical planning and organizing tips, review materials available, and responding to the “No’s.”
Join us on Monday September 25th at 10:00pm EDT.
If you can't join us live, the webinar will be available afterwards to watch on-demand at your convenience - sign up now to ensure you get the link for this important webinar.

Sept. 27 – Nov. 5, 2023 – Fall 2023 40 Days for Life campaign - Planned Parenthood Metro - 160 South 1000 E #120 Salt Lake City, UT – For Info - https://www.40daysforlife.com/en/saltlakecity or contact Barbara Granja - SLC40DaysforLife@gmail.com Abortion is still legal and taking place in Utah with an average of 9-10 per day. The Knights need to be a visible presence for this cause and campaign. We need all prayer warriors to step up and do at least one, 1-hour prayer vigil outside the Planned Parenthood Metro Clinic. Invite your parish, Council, friends, and family. Go to the link above to sign up for your vigil hour. For those not familiar with a 40 Days for Life vigil these are silent, peaceful prayer hours which take place outside of Planned Parenthood clinics. Participants do not engage with those entering the facility or who are passing by. Bring your KofC pro-life signs or 40 Days for Life signs. For more information, please contact SLC campaign chair Barbara Granja.
