• Keep Christ In Christmas Poster Contest -

  This year’s Keep Christ in Christmas Poster Contest received thousands of submissions. This extraordinary turnout shows that our youth have a deep understanding of the true meaning of Christmas. Through their artwork, they can bring others to remember that Christmas is about the birth of the Savior. Please be sure to visit the Keep Christ in Christmas page at kofc.org/christmas for more information on this contest as well as multiple activities that promote Christmas and the season of the Advent. It’s never too early to start planning for programs throughout the remainder of the year!

• Support Your Local Pregnancy Center This Summer!

  There are more than 3000 pro-life pregnancy centers operating throughout territories of the Knights of Columbus. Consider “adopting” a pregnancy center in your area. By providing material, financial assistance, labor and spiritual support, your members can actively work in their community to show that the Knights of Columbus love both the mother and child before and after birth. With aid from the Knights, pregnancy centers can continue to offer support to help women choose life.

• Free Throw Championship

  Since 1972, councils have sponsored the Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship. This program encourages boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 14 to exercise the values of sportsmanship and healthy competition by going up against participants throughout their jurisdictions in an effort to be named the winner at the Supreme level.
