Recurring activities only count as “one"

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—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’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.
