Officer's Materials
Many of the resources an officer needs are now available online. This section also contains many of the important forms your council, assembly or circle is expected to complete during the fraternal year.
Council Assessments
All council payments for Per Capita, Catholic Advertising and Culture of Life assessments as well as any Supply Charges can be mailed to:
Knights of Columbus

New Haven, CT 06506-1480
These payments should be forwarded to the Supreme Council Office within 65 days of the January 1st billing date to allow sufficient processing time prior to the suspension date of April 10, 2010.
Membership Madness - Brackets
Jurisdictions in our Order are going head-to-head in a friendly competition as part of the Order's Membership Madness competition. This is an intake based challenge between similar sized jurisdictions. The main focus is to challenge each state to compete against the other jurisdictions in its particular bracket for the highest intake percentage based on the state council's fraternal year intake goal.
The final round has begun and some jurisdictions have taken an early lead. Will you be the one holding the prize at the end?
Round 3B consists of the following jurisdictions: Luzon, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ontario, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Washington, Kentucky, Mexico South, Alabama, Mexico Central, Poland, Saskatchewan, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Mexico Northwest.

World Day of Prayer for Vocations
Sunday, May 3, is the Annual World Day of Prayer for Vocations. This day is an opportunity for all Knights to raise awareness of the need for youth to say yes to their vocations, especially if one is called to the priesthood or religious life. With the help of the Knights of Columbus, thousands will hear their calls as a result of our prayers and vocational materials. As Knights, we know the difference that one good priest can make. Raise awareness and get involved. Participate in the World Day of Prayer for Vocations.
Membership Blitz
A coordinated membership Recruitment Blitz is an all-out effort to maximize your membership teams' efforts by canvassing an entire parish on one weekend, gathering the names of prospective new members for follow-up.
Knights of Columbus Essay Contest
The Order encourages all councils and assemblies to sponsor the Knights of Columbus Essay Contest at schools in their communities. The essay contest is a creative way to encourage young people to become citizens who are firmly grounded in the Faith.
Membership Growth
Recruiting new members is essential to the continued growth and well-being of your council and the Order. Offering a man membership in the Knights of Columbus gives him the opportunity to improve his own life and his community. Membership allows him to experience the fraternal bond that Knights share while growing closer to his family and faith.
Program Planning
The Service Program is designed to establish each council as an influential and important force within the community, elevate the status of the programming personnel, provide more meaningful and relevant programs of action, establish direct areas of responsibility, build leadership, and ensure the success of council programs.
