Cor Council Leadership

Knights gathered during a meeting for Cor. — Council EFF Directors receive FREE access to FORMED, offering world-class formation content for use in *Cor*.

Grand Knight: Adoption of Cor should only add minimal work to the Grand Knight. He is encouraged to survey all council members and then appoint and empower an Evangelization and Faith Formation (EFF) Director who will own all aspects of implementing and running Cor. The Grand Knight is encouraged to attend, but is not required to, nor does he have an official role in the event itself. He is expected to continue to foster goodwill, collaboration, and communication with the pastor, specifically by first asking for the pastor’s permission to implement Cor for the parish and also how he would like the Knights to work with any existing men’s groups or ministries. To that end, he is encouraged to bring the EFF Director into any appropriate and corresponding meetings with the pastor and other men’s groups or ministries in the parish.

Council Evangelization and Faith Formation Director: Appointed by the Grand Knight, he will facilitate the planning, structure, and hosting of all Cor gatherings. He is encouraged to build an EFF team that will help shoulder these responsibilities, especially if meeting more frequently. He will ensure adequate preparation for each event. Preparation includes reserving space, communicating timing and content, and ensuring the meeting is run excellently every time. Along with the Grand Knight, the EFF Director should coordinate and communicate with any existing parish ministries, particularly men’s ministries in such a way that fosters collaboration and the possibility of a hybrid experience achieving the aims and goals of both groups. The Council Director is supported by the State EFF Director and his Team.

Pastor/Chaplain: The pastor must give his permission for Cor to be held at the parish. He is primarily responsible for the formation of the souls in his parish and therefore should be consulted and involved. He should be made aware of the scheduled meetings and their content focus with a standing invitation to lead prayer and to speak to the men as he so desires.
