Family of the Month/Year
Promote and support the development of strong and vibrant families. Each council establishes a committee to recognize a deserving Family of the Month and Family of the Year with potential for recognition on the international level.
Each month, the council Family of the Month committee selects one parish family that models Christian family values and visibly lives them every day. Once a year, each participating council also selects one of the previous twelve Family of the Month winners to represent the council/parish as the potential international Family of the Year. The Knights of Columbus Family of the Year is chosen by the Supreme Council and recognized each year at the annual Supreme Convention.
Knight of the Month/Year
The Knight of the Month committee doesn’t need to seek out a “Superman” each month. The committee should look for a member that lives traditional Catholic masculine values and deserves recognition for doing so.
Each month, the council Knight of the Month committee selects one knight that models Christian family values and visibly lives them every day. Each year, those councils participating in the Knight of the Month program should also select a Knight of
the Year. When selecting your council’s Knight of the Year, follow guidelines similar to those used by the committee in choosing each Knight of the Month. Eligible Knight of the year recipients must be a member of the Knights of Columbus.
