Alongside Michigan Jurisdiction’s ASAP100 efforts (all active councils participate in the ASAP program), the Supreme Council has announced a new council incentive.
Below is the message from Robert Ennis, Supreme Council VP of Membership Growth and John Moulder, VP of Fraternal Operations with details of this incentive.
"When it comes to supporting vulnerable mothers and their children, both born and unborn, the Knights of Columbus will never waver! And the more we grow the Order, the more life-saving support we can provide.
That’s why we’re launching the Join ASAP Council Incentive!
Councils that recruit 3 members between February 1 and March 31 AND donate at least $500 through the ASAP program any time during the 2025-26 fraternal year will receive an additional $250 for the pregnancy resource center or maternity home they supported.
The top 10 councils recruiting the most members will also receive an additional $750 for the pregnancy resource center or maternity home, bringing the total incentive to $1,000 for those winners!
On Wednesday January 28th, the District 3 Color Corps were joined by State Secretary Charlie McCuen, State Warden Joel Kendzorski, and Vice Supreme Master Walter Winkle at the opening ceremonies of the 2026 Special Olympics State Winter Games in Traverse City.

In this Sunday's Gospel reading, Jesus exhorts us to be salt and light for the world. But what does he mean by that? And how are we supposed to live that way? We'll explore that subject in today's Dad Talk. Please share with a friend, and God bless! Dad
