KofC 12480 - Committees Index

Volunteerism informed by Christian concern is the hallmark of the Knights of Columbus and results in outstanding contributions of time and talent to the Catholic Church, our communities, families, young people and brother Knights through the "Surge...with Service" program. Much of the success for the Order's volunteer record can be attributed to the fact that the Supreme Council does not mandate participation in any volunteer initiative. Fraternal and charitable programs arise at the grassroots level to meet the needs of local parishes and communities.	Year by Month
Responsibilities of the Service Program:
Furnish the opportunity for members to fulfill their Catholic duties for the benefit of themselves and others; Enable members and their families to participate in worthwhile community projects while profiting from the opportunity and experience themselves; Encourage members to protect their families by taking advantage of our order's insurance features; and Constantly recruit new members of high caliber so that the Order's strength may be augmented while retaining its effectiveness and quality.
