June 2020

The listing of all 2020 State Convention awards can be found HERE, or you can download this PDF version.
 
**************
With regret our 19-20-21 June 2020 State Convention has been cancelled.  The "Back on Track" plan unveiled last week by Governor Holcomb prohibits meetings with over 250 people during June.  We typically have over 500 at our Convention.  Therefore, it was impossible for us to physically meet this Fraternal Year.
 
The 30 May 2020 Virtual Business Meeting will be the 2020 Indiana State Council Annual Meeting.  Your cooperation, participation, and assistance at the 16 May Diocesean Caucus Meetings, 17 May Committee Meetings, and the 30 May Virtual Business Meeting is critical for these events to be successful.

Candidates for the Delegate Elections to the Supreme Convention
Candidates wishing to be elected as a Delegate representing the Indiana Knights of Columbus at the Supreme Convention in early August MUST complete the Nomination Entry form and submit the completed form (in PDF format) to the State Secretary, Craig Hanusin, by 12:00 central time this Tuesday for the elections taking place on Saturday, May 16th, 2020.  Email the completed PDF nomination entry forms to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..  
Candidates should also submit a brief 1-page resume, so delegates will have information when making their decisions.  Candidates should not in any way ask for support or the vote of the delegates in the informational sheet, since this is considered campaigning. Candidates can ONLY enter the diocese of their home council.
Councils need to pass this information to their council members and if any council has a candidate for their caucus, the member must complete the form ASAP!
Please reference the State Advocate’s letter for information and requirements to be a candidate.

NOTE:  The Supreme Convention is in Washington D.C. this year and may be a virtual meeting depending on the status of the pandemic.

Gibault

The Indiana Knights of Columbus founded Father Gibault Home for Boys in 1921. It was originally administered by Priests of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. In 1934, the Brothers of Holy Cross became the administrators, teachers, counselors, and overseers. They, in partnership with the Indiana Knights, saw thousands of young boys turn into young men.
