Worthy Knights of Columbus Leaders,
 
Temporary revisions have been instituted for council awards criteria to make the awards more achievable during this year of pandemic. The changes are:

(1) Columbian Award (Programs)
  • Conduct at least 10 program activities (reduced from 16) including:
  • At least 2 activities in each category of Faith, Family, Community, and Life
  • At least 2 additional activities in any categories
(2) McGivney Award (Membership)
 (3) Founders Award (Insurance)  
  • Host two virtual or in person benefits seminars with the field agent before June 30
  • NOTE: Seminars hosted between March 1 and June 30 will get double credit
(4) Star Council Award
  • No change to all other Star Council requirements (reports, safe environment, etc.)
  • Note: Payment of Supreme assessments and per capita is not required this year

We will discuss these revised criteria during a webinar this Thursday, March 18, at 8:00 PM EDT. You can register for the webinar here. Additionally, a list of frequently asked questions is attached for your reference.

Please make every effort to finish the year strong. The Supreme Council looks forward to recognizing your accomplishments.
Fraternally,
