Becoming Fishers of Men
From the beginning, Father Michael McGivney created a culture for the Knights — a “culture of invitation,” in which Catholic men ask other Catholic men to join our fraternity and put their faith in action. And so, they went out and invited others. One by one, council by council, our Order grew.
Earlier this month, fraternal leaders received information about renewing our culture of invitation and becoming “Fishers of Men” for the Knights of Columbus. New and updated resources to supplement council Church Drive Kits are in the process of being uploaded to Supplies Online for purchase and download. In the coming days, we will send out a detailed email about each resource, where to find it, and how to use it.
Additional details and tips to aid your recruiting efforts will be included in future editions of the FLA throughout the Fall. We look forward to breaking our membership growth record once again!
