REMINDER: MONTHLY COUNCIL SPOTLIGHT

Each month, as part of our FLA Live! Fraternal Webinar Series, we feature a council that is excelling in membership growth, programs, evangelization, faith formation or building a strong brotherhood of men. We want to showcase YOUR council! Tell us the great things your council is doing in your parish and community. Please email us at fraternaltraining@kofc.org so we can put the spotlight on your council.

FRATERNAL WEBINAR ARCHIVES

Missed a fraternal webinar? Visit our archive of fraternal webinars to view them on-demand.

Today is Holy Thursday – the beginning of the Easter Triduum.

You’re invited to make the most of this sacred time with powerful resources at kofc.org/Lent.

Access meditations for praying the Stations of the Cross, a guide to confession and more. You’ll also find a video series with Father Jonathan Kalisch and Renzo Ortega as they reflect on what sacrifice means as Catholic men.  

Please share kofc.org/Lent with your brother Knights!

Fraternal Training

• Visit kofc.org/training to locate online training for state, council, district and assembly officers. These training sessions are available on demand, and the average length is only 30 minutes! Suggested Training by Officer Role is a great place to get started.

Evangelization and Faith Formation

• Coming Next Week: The next quarterly issue of Cor Central will be sent to State and Council EFF Directors on April 10. If you or someone on your team isn’t receiving the newsletter, you can sign up here: Subscribe to Cor Central.
• Into the Breach: The Dignity of Work: This compelling five-episode series exploring the Catholic vision of man’s mission in the world and the nature of work is now available. Great resource to use in Cor.

District Deputy

• Encourage your councils to submit the Columbian Award Application (#SP-7) as soon as they earn 16 program activities. This ensures timely processing. Reminder: council participation in any of the 8 new Faith in Action programs earns 2 program credits. 
• Make preparations to attend your jurisdiction's annual State Convention. Ensure that each of your councils plans to attend as well.
• Conduct a quarterly district meeting to ensure your councils close the fraternal year strong. Review Star Council progress, council election procedures, and have council leaders share best practices.

Grand Knight

• Appoint a nominating committee to recommend officers for the next fraternal year. Have the committee look beyond the usual volunteers to find a good mix of candidates representing fresh ideas and sound council practices.
• Ensure timely processing of your ASAP, RSVP and Food for Families refund applications by gathering the necessary supporting documentation and submitting the forms early.
• Complete the Fraternal Benefits Event Council Report (#11077) as soon as possible after participating in an approved seminar.
• FY Q3 Cor Data Needed: Please remind your EFF Director to submit their Cor Quarterly Report Form for the quarter ending 3/31. This information is essential for understanding the impact of Cor across the Order.
• FY 26/27 Council EFF Director Submission Form now available. As soon as you or your successor know your EFF Director for the next fraternal year, please fill out this quick form to ensure he receives all Cor communications. The form must be submitted each fraternal year. Submissions after 4/1/26 will apply to the 2026-2027 fraternal year.

Financial Secretary

• Council Assessments Due - The Per Capita, Catholic Advertising and Culture of Life levies are due to the Supreme Council before April 10 to avoid suspension. A suspended council may not be seated at their state convention, nor are its members eligible to be delegates to the Supreme Council Meeting and Convention. Your council assessment bill can be found in Officers Online on the “Reports” tab.
• Timely processing of new members is critical as we approach the end of the fraternal year. All form 100s need to be processed by June 30. The best method to process new members is the Candidate Tab on Officers Online.
