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

As the summer starts to get away from us, now is the perfect time to begin thinking about your Coats for Kids orders. By ordering your coats early, you will be able to rest easy knowing that you will already have coats on hand when the weather starts to get cold. For more information about the Coats for Kids program visit kofc.org/coats for ordering in the US visit supplies online via officers online, and in Canada coats can be ordered through knightsgear.ca.

ULTRASOUND

All too often, women do not feel supported during their pregnancies. A throw-away culture sends the message that some women are better off ending their pregnancy and terminating the life of an unborn child through abortion. Fortunately, we can step into the breach and correct this lie with the help of life-saving ultrasound machines. The overwhelming majority of women who receive an ultrasound in a pro-life pregnancy center choose life. In fact, a 2013 survey by NIFLA showed that nearly 80% of at-risk mothers who saw an image of their unborn child chose life. To learn how you can place a machine in a local pregnancy center or mobile unit visit www.kofc.org/ultrasound.

REFUND SUPPORT VOCATIONS PROGRAM (RSVP)

Vocations to the priesthood and religious life are vital to the health of the church, yet many seminarians and postulants find themselves struggling personally and financially to answer their God-given call. By providing direct financial support, Knights help seminarians in their study and ministry. By providing moral and fraternal support, Knights help seminarians in their formation. For more information on how you and your brother Knights can support our seminarians, visit www.kofc.org/rsvp.

FAMILY FULLY ALIVE

Every Christian family is called to become a domestic Church in which each member can grow in faith, hope, charity, and, ultimately, holiness. The family needs to be a place where the Gospel is passed on and radiated out into the world, but too often our faith is something that is just lived at Mass on Sundays. Knights step into the breach by leading their families, their own domestic Churches, to live the faith at home with the weekly and monthly prayers, reflections, and activities of the Family Fully Alive Program so that they can grow in holiness together. Through this program Knights and their families live out their mission by inviting God into their homes every day.
