    <description>Are there any Knights willing to assist their community in recovery.

Chainsaw work, tarping roofs, cleaning up debris.

Please advise your availability and location.

With new storms coming in tonight and tomorrow the need for volunteers grows.

Please advise.

Thanks

    <description>Brothers All:
Four (4) weeks left in this fraternal year. Teamwork is needed. Recruiting is the key to the Circle of Honor. Every catholic man who is 18 years old is a potential member to your council. Just ASK.,ask for your Pastors support regarding recruiting. (Bishops Letter) Compare the church phone book with your roster to find candidates. Have the orator of your council announce a recruiting blitz ( Pulpit Announcement) ASK for new members at all church and council activities. Visit and talk to all candidates that want more time to think about membership. Have a meet and greet at the 2nd council meeting (social meeting). Wear a t-shirt etc with the KofC logo to all activities.&amp;nbsp; Promote family and hospitality of the council in all activities. Stress that the Knights are family oriented and family friendly. Create a simple flyer to be put in the church bulletin about joining the Knights.
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; God Bless
State Membership Director

    <title>LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE DONE</title> 
    <link>https://indianakofc.org/Resources/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/10485/LOOK-AT-WHAT-WE-HAVE-DONE</link> 
    <description>In very trying circumstances.
2 Dioceses without a Director or Chairman.
Several areas no DD or a DD not FULLY engaged.
Missing Membership roles.
Parishes closed or closing across the State.
Parishes sharing Priest&amp;rsquo;s.
State of Indiana is now over 34,000 Members strong and piling it on.
COME ON 35,000.
Added 93 new SO FAR this month.
We have a Goal of 1299 and only at 1029 for 80% at this point, but WOW!!!
The year is not done and neither are we!!!
Currently we have 1 Council @500%, 1 @350%, 1 @300%, 4 @ 200% and 40 @100 of the Supreme goal. Not done yet but also have 13 more above 80% and can very well get over 100%.
Look at the District&amp;rsquo;s.
#5&amp;amp;22@75%, #8@80%, plus #4,13&amp;amp;31 @90-%. All in striking distance of hitting 100% or more!!
Already over 100% of Supreme goal is 6,10,12,14,21,37,29,35 and 36. They aren&amp;rsquo;t done yet but certainly leading the way for others.
If you done the forms and programming needed.&amp;nbsp;️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️

Like my last email.
I AM PROUD OF WHAT WE DONE TOGETHER

    <link>https://indianakofc.org/Resources/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/10482/Activity-Tracker-as-of-53126</link> 
    <description>Brothers,

Here is the activity tracker as of 7:10PM CST, Sunday, May 31, 2026.

If there are any inconsistencies, please let me know and have copies of your submitted work so I can verify what needs updating.

Again, as a reminder, this tracker only verifies that you have met the minimum four points in each of the FIA categories.&amp;nbsp; It also tracks what is needed for Star Council and also the state discovery awards.&amp;nbsp; For a full list of what&amp;nbsp;you have completed, council&amp;nbsp;program directors are to maintain proper record keeping of each and every activity submitted.

    <title>Recurring activities only count as “one&quot;</title> 
    <link>https://indianakofc.org/Resources/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/10481/Recurring-activities-only-count-as-one</link> 
    <description>Brothers,

As we approach the end of the fraternal year, there are a couple of reminders that I want to go over.

First, for purposes of Faith in Action tracking, I am recording only the minimum number of qualifying activities required for program credit&amp;mdash;four in each of the four categories. Once a council has reached four qualifying activities in a category, the tracker is considered complete for that category and no additional submissions will be added. While additional programs are commendable, the purpose of this tracker is solely to verify that the minimum requirement has been satisfied.

Second, repeated or recurring events are counted as one activity type for scoring purposes during the fraternal year. Conducting the same event multiple times does not result in additional points. For example, recurring rosaries, corporate communions, and similar ongoing programs are counted once as an activity, regardless of how many times they are held.

Please review your council&amp;rsquo;s submissions with these guidelines in mind before reaching out. If you believe there is a specific tracking error, I will be glad to review it; otherwise, I ask that you rely on these standards as the basis for the totals shown.

Brothers,

My youngest son Aydan, who is graduating high school senior this year, was in a single car accident last night. He had surgery to remove part of his skull to stop the brain bleed and to allow room in case his brain swells up more this week. He has 2 broken fingers and a few small bone breaks off of spine.

He is currently in ICU at Memorial Hospital in South Bend. Latest follow up CT today showed no further swelling or shifting with brain. He has been responsive with talking today and is resting.

Prayers for his recovery would be appreciated.

Vivat Jesus!
