Evangelization and Faith Formation Message August 2026

SCRIPTURE REFLECTION

“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations… And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
— Matthew 28:19–20

Every Knight has been entrusted with Christ’s mission to make disciples. Evangelization is the calling of every baptized Christian. Through COR and strong Council Evangelization & Faith Formation Directors we help men encounter Christ and become missionary disciples.

My Brother Knights,

I pray this letter finds you and your families well as we continue our journey of faith and service together.

One of our greatest opportunities this Columbian year is to strengthen COR throughout California.

Every council should appoint a Council Evangelization & Faith Formation (EFF) Director to lead COR and build a COR leadership team. This is important as this role is NOT on the form 365.

I ask our District Deputies to help ensure every council has an appointed EFF Director.

Please send your Council Number, EFF Director’s name, email address, and phone number to EFF@CaliforniaKnights.org.

If your council needs COR materials, help starting COR, or assistance strengthening your Evangelization & Faith Formation ministry, email EFF@CaliforniaKnights.org. Our California State Evangelization & Faith Formation Team will reach out and work with your council to provide resources, guidance, and support.

 I ask that you please submit your Council Success Stories and photos for future editions of this newsletter.

Be Bold: Evangelize with God to Engage and Transform.

Vivat Jesus!

Vince A. Vasquez
California State Evangelization & Faith Formation Director
