Supreme Council ASAP Incentive Update

By: Ed Strach - Fri, Mar 6, 2026 4:04 PM

Supreme Council ASAP Incentive 

 

Since last week's report 11 additional councils have achieved the ASAP Incentive Membership gain and with 4 additional councils completing the ASAP Grant Application. This incentive ends March 31st so miss out on the additional $250 toward your council's ASAP donation to a local pregnancy center or maternity home! 

This incentive is a great way to invite pro-life men who are not yet Knights of Columbus to join your council.

 

When speaking with them, be sure to tell them about ways your council supports the dignity of life at every stage — and let them know that just by joining before March 31, they’re helping you do that work.


Dad Talk - Second Sunday of Lent (Cycle A)

By: Matt Hoxsie - Fri, Mar 6, 2026 4:01 PM

Anthony the Great explained that Abraham's response to God's call—to do as God directed and leave everything behind—is the model for how we should respond to Jesus's call to repent and follow Him.  In today's Dad Talk, we'll discuss the circumstances that make Abraham's response so remarkable, and what following Jesus means for us today. Please share with a friend, and God bless! Dad
