CHURCH ACTIVITIES:
The Church Activities program seeks to promote programs that enable each individual Knight to set a constant and worthy example as an ideal Catholic to his family, his community, and his fellow Brothers. Some suggestions from the Supreme Council include activities regarding evangelization, vocations, and religious devotions. The Church Activities Director is the liaison between Council and various Church Ministries as directed by the Grand Knight.
Historically, Father Bonner Council has included the following activities as part of its Church Activities Service Program:
Marian Mass
Mass in honour of the Virgin Mother, held once each year in May. The council members and their families, members of the parish, and numerous schools are all invited to attend.
Knights Of Columbus Masses
Masses at St. Thomas More, where the Knights of Columbus provide the manpower to fulfill the supportive roles in the mass (acolyte, readers, and Eucharistic ministers). This is done once per month. New members to this ministry are always appreciated, to enlarge the pool of participants to draw upon.
Vocations
A ministry informing the council of Holy Hours of Prayer, Saturday Rosary, and supporting local priesthood vocation programs.
Pennies For Heaven
After each general meeting, a one dollar 50/50 draw is promoted, where 50% of the proceeds go to the winner, and the 50% goes towards vocations. At each State convention, these monies are presented to the State Vocations Director.
Formation Program
At each general council meeting, a different Christian theme (based on scripture) is presented as a reading, with time for members to reflect on and share their sentiments with the rest of the members.
Holy Hours
Monthly, parish Holy Hours are held (usually after the evening mass on the 3rd Tuesday of the month) in which Knights are encouraged to participate.
