Brother Knights

As members of the Knights of Columbus, we are called to be God’s voice in a society that would rather turn from God and embrace worldly attractions and self-gratification.  Our order needs us to be on the front lines in the battle for life in our Parishes, Communities and Country.  Please review all the Life Programs at KofC.org and find ones that will work for you councils. 

Special Olympics and Silver Rose are the featured programs for the month of September.  Please contact Special Olympics Chairman Chales Beltz nhlfan@syx.com and Silver Rose Chairman Gerald Fong  jerryfong@comcast.net,  or contact your Chapter Programs Director. 

As a reminder, please fill out your Fraternal Programs report form #10784 at the completion of each program.  In particular for Special Olympics.  Supreme sends a check to our State Deputy each year in the name of Special Olympics based on the 10784 received by Jan. 31st.  So, review all of your Special Olympics activities you did in 2025 and make sure that a 10784 was completed.

ASAP/Pregnancy Center Support/ Ultrasound Programs.  The ASAP Program has been a great success throughout the country, amassing more than $17 million in donations. Supreme recently donated the 2,000th Ultrasound machine in Virgina, and in California we are now approaching our 180th machine donated since the program started in 2009.  Contact ASAP Chairman Richard marciniakrb@gmail.com, Options United  Thomas Rudkinsthomas@optionsunited.com, Ultrasound Chairman George Brown gb3mjb@att.net. These Chairmen will assist with locating and processing your program forms.

Last but not least Brothers, at the end of every activity complete the Fraternal Programs Report From #10784 and the State Council Programs Awards Entry Form.  These State forms are extremely important for your councils to be recognized with our State Program awards and let’s encourage our councils to work toward the Council of the Year!!!!
