PLEASE TAKE NOTE: ALL Cor INFORMATION SHOULD NOW BE OBTAINED AT KOFC.ORG/Cor
PRAYER
Jesus, how easily I forget that you don't want fancy attire, lofty honors or prominence in society from me. Instead, your desire is that I give you my entire livelihood. Lord, help me to be like the widow who, in her great humility, gave God everything she had. Amen
Gentlemen: This month's challenge:
"For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood." Gospel for November 10, MK12:44)
The lowly widow has received praise from Jesus because her gift came from her substance and not her abundance. There is much to be said for the "give until it hurts" approach to charity. We ought to give sacrificially, and it is not much of a sacrifice to give away things we don't use or money we won't miss. Remembering what Jesus gave us should challenge us to greater sacrifice for others.
Councils, please submit the Council EFF Director Form
i. Per the data from the District Deputy Annual 944 form, over 5500 councils plan on holding Cor this year, which is amazing. The data also said that over 3200 councils held Cor last year, also amazing. We only have 1200 individual EFF Directors submitted, 750 from US and Canada and 450(38%) being from the Philippines (well done Philippines!). This means we have a number of holes in the data and we want to share as accurate of narrative as possible on the great work happening in parishes across the Order.
ii. To be clear, these numbers are not a vanity metric but are being shared with KofC Supreme Officers and with Bishops around the world. They are all very interested in understanding the impact of Cor in their diocese. To give this accurate count, we need accurate data. Please help by advocating via your DDs and GKs that these forms and surveys are submitted.

Council EFF Directors, pleases share your success! Quarterly Cor Survey & Testimonials
i. The first quarterly survey received 75 submissions. We are hoping more fill it out retroactively and that even more fill out the survey next month at the close of the 2nd quarter of the fraternal year.
ii. The Cor Testimonials can be filled out by anyone at any time to share stories of Cor. These are fantastic and help add humanity to the numbers we share. Stories testify to the work the Holy Spirit is doing through your work, brothers!
