This Lent, join brother Knights Renzo Ortega and Father Jonathan Kalisch, O.P., as they unpack why we’re called to sacrifice in the first place and what that can look like as Knights. 



Look for their video reflections on the Sunday readings each week, either at www.kofc.org/lent or on our social media channels.

The Join ASAP messaging is simple – the more we grow the Order, the more life-saving support we can provide to vulnerable mothers and their children, both born and unborn.

To help you spread that messaging and highlight the impact a man can make by joining the Knights we have created social media assets for you to share on your council’s Facebook and Instagram pages!

For US councils these assets have been added to Supply Store in the asset library for you to download.



For Canadian councils you will find these assets in the Faith in Action >> Life >> ASAP folder.



Full details on the incentive can be found here.

Register Today! A Council Account with Knights of Columbus Charitable Fund can help your council fundraise more effectively to support fraternal programs and grow your charitable assets. Grand Knights, Treasurers and Council Officers are encouraged to attend. Join Joshua Gideon, KCCF Chief of Strategy, and Drew Dillingham, Director of Programs and Member Engagement for Knights of Columbus, for this informational webinar to improve your council's charitable efforts!
