The Coats for Kids programs is a staple Knights of Columbus program. As a reminder, when ordering coats this year, full payment is required upon “check out” with a credit or debit card. For this reason, we are strongly encouraging councils to begin their fundraising initiatives for this fall and winter’s distribution. For more information about pricing, coat styles or to purchase coats, please visit Knightsgear.com in the United States and Knightsgear.ca in Canada. For more information on the charging policy, council officers should refer to the Officer’s Desk Reference on Officers Online.

It’s been 100 years since the first copy of Columbia was printed in the summer of 1921. This month’s issue provides a glimpse of how the magazine has informed, formed and entertained Knights, their families and other readers over the last century. In preparation for Blessed Michael McGivney’s first feast day Aug. 13, the issue also includes articles highlighting the founder’s priestly ministry after leaving New Haven, Conn., and several of the growing number of favors reported by people who have asked for his intercession.

Enduring Faith: The Story of Native American Catholics explores the rich legacy of faith among Native Americans. Discover how in the 16th century, Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to an Indigenous elder as a mestiza woman and generated the largest conversion in world history. Hear the inspiring story of the first canonized Native American saint, St. Kateri Tekakwitha. Learn about a 20th century Lakota healer, Nicholas Black Elk, whose cause for canonization is currently open in Rome.
This film will inspire in viewers a deeper appreciation for the spiritual and cultural gifts of Native American Catholics, a greater awareness of the wrongs inflicted upon them by the unjust policies of the British and American governments, and a sense of hope at how Native American Catholics continue to live out their faith in fully enculturated ways today. Above all, it offers a missing piece to the greater story of Catholicism in America and a beautiful example of how Christ reveals himself through the uniqueness of every culture.
