Council Growth Tools & Incentives

Growth within Knights of Columbus at the council level is crucial for the Order's survival and continued mission. Without a steady influx of new members, councils face stagnation, which can lead to a decline in community service, charitable works, and the fellowship that defines the organization. New members bring fresh perspectives, new skills, and a renewed sense of energy that invigorates existing programs and inspires the creation of new ones. This growth ensures the Order can adapt to changing societal needs while remaining a relevant and impactful force for good in parishes and communities worldwide.
