Knights Address Safety During COVID-19 Pandemic

Updated 6/3/2020

Consistent with existing communication from the Supreme Council concerning cancellation and postponement of all council and state in-person programs and activities, the updates for specific council and state programs are as follows:

Silver Rose
The Silver Rose program is now continuing as scheduled. Live-streamed prayer services remain the recommended option for the program. Councils should continue to abide by any local civil or diocesan guidelines currently in place. Participating councils should contact appropriate district or state leadership, such as the state silver rose chairman, for their jurisdiction’s route details and guidelines.

Marian Icon
The Marian Icon program is now continuing as scheduled. Live-streamed prayer services remain the recommended option for the program. Councils should continue to abide by any local civil or diocesan guidelines currently in place. Participating councils should contact appropriate district or state leadership, such as the state Marian icon chairman, for their jurisdiction’s route details and guidelines.

Free Throw Championship
We ask that all state competitions be cancelled for this current fraternal year. Consider honoring all district winners through a state certificate that can be found on Officers Online. There will not be any international winners for this fraternal year due to the cancelation of jurisdictional level competitions.

Essay Contest Winner Announcement
Current: We have received all submissions and judging will resume once the quarantine has been lifted. Winners will be shared as soon as review and judging has been completed.

Next Fraternal Year topic: We will announce the new topic for the essay contest at the start of the next fraternal year.
