Schedule and Content—First six months (EXAMPLE)

Over the shoulder shot of a man reading the bible.

Frequency: 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month @ 8 am

Content:

This is a proposed structure to show how simple and flexible the structure can be using resources and materials readily available at www.kofc.org/cor.
This example shows planning in advance, however, if the demands of the men attending require different content, then adapt accordingly. This is to emphasize that the formation and prayer content is supplementary to the needs of the fraternal brotherhood and not necessarily a set formal curriculum.
