Supreme Council’s 1/16/25 Webinar on Council Preparations for Lent & Easter:
This recent webinar is available on-demand at https://www.kofc.org/en/for-members/resources/webinars/011625.html. If you didn’t already view it, please take some time to view it on-demand. It’s a 1 hour webinar that is packed full of good information and tips for councils to engage their membership, and non-Knights in their parishes in a number of faith-based activities.
The webinar starts with a reminder that Ash Wednesday is March 5th, that Lent runs through April 17th, that Easter Sunday is 4/20, and that the Easter Season runs through Pentecost Sunday on June 8th.
It provides guidance on how councils can plan faith-based activities for the seasons of Lent and Easter, and also provides some tips on engagement of council membership in putting on these activities, as well as how to attract participants.
