Into the Breach: Foundation for the Year

Every Faith in Action program is an opportunity to put your faith into action and step into the breach. Stepping into the breach requires Knights to identify the needs around them and respond with action. To that end every council is encouraged to begin this fraternal year with the new Into the Breach video series program. Rediscover who we are called to be as men of faith and the mission we are called to fulfill as Knights.

COATS FOR KIDS

During this holiday season, continue to work with your local community and schools to help ensure that no child goes without a coat this year.  Work with your local parish community to help raise money to fund the purchase of these zero-rated coats.  For more information please visit kofc.org/coats.  To order the coats in the United States visit supplies online via officers online and in Canada order your coats through knightsgear.ca.

MARCH FOR LIFE

More than 600,000 unborn children were killed by abortion in the United States in 2016, according to the most recent data available from the CDC. While this number continues to fall, we must continue to step into the breach and speak out on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves. Every year, the March for Life and other marches and rallies across the world give us the opportunity to make our voices heard and call for legislation that protects the sanctity of life. To plan your involvement, visit the web pages of marches or rallies near you, such as the March for Life in Washington DC (January 29). Be sure to order have your councils order “Choose Love, Choose Life” signs (#9341) well in advance! Visit kofc.org/march for more information.

SPIRITUAL REFLECTION

Prayer is essential for a Christian life, but the demands of everyday life often impact our ability to pray. That's why Knights provide annual opportunities for a spiritual retreat. These powerful days of prayer and reflection remind men (and their families!) about the central role of Christ in their lives and refocuses their commitment to prayer. Learn more about how you can host or attend a Spiritual Reflection by visiting kofc.org/reflection.

KEEP CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS

In today’s world it is easier than ever to get caught up in the busyness and materialism that surrounds the celebration of Christmas. Losing sight of Jesus, born for us in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago, we forget to prepare our families to welcome him into our hearts on Christmas morning. Knights step into the breach by focusing on the true reason for the Christmas season, Jesus Christ, through a variety of activities under the Keep Christ in Christmas Program. Planning a Keep Christ in Christmas activity is a great way to prepare our families to celebrate Jesus’ birth in the proper context.
