In today’s world, a man faces multiple commitments to his spouse, children, workplace, community, and Church.
Every day the hours available to meet these responsibilities seem to dwindle while the commitments themselves seem to grow. It can be daunting for today’s man to find time to volunteer.
Imagine if you were able to see that if you could give just 24 hours a year to the Knights of Columbus you could make a positive difference in your community and Church.
Here is an illustration of just how little time it takes to be an active member of the Order.
Even with this minimal commitment you can be an important part of our council and reap the benefits membership offers to you and you family.
Here is a basic breakdown of the time commitment:
*Six hours a year volunteering on a
council sponsored Church, community, council, or family project
of your choosing.
*Four hours a year attending two
council meetings.
*Four hours a year enjoying (with
his entire family) a council social
function such as a dinner, dance,
picnic, etc.
*Four hours a year volunteering at
the council’s annual drive for people
with intellectual disabilities, K of C
Free Throw Competition, K of C
Soccer Challenge, the Substance
Abuse Awareness Poster Contest,
or similar event.
*Four hours a year attending, with
his family, two corporate
Communions or council prayer
services at his parish.
*Two hours reading the council
bulletin, council Web site, and the
Supreme Council Web site.
That’s only 24 hours a year, which
practically any man can fit into his
schedule. When you look at the time
commitment of joining the Order in this way, it doesn’t seem very intimidating at all.
The rewards of being a Knight are well worth your commitment of time.
