Membership

Texas, as of January 31, 2022, you have recruited 2,388 New Families into the Order, 59.51% of our membership goal. We still need to recruit 1,625 to make it back into the Circle of Honor. Brothers, we need to pick up the pace! Let’s head into the Texas State Council Convention with a full head of steam! Ask someone to join your council!

February’s Membership recruitment goal is 418.

Church Drive/Parish Blitz – Councils should have ordered their Church Drive Kits for March. Let's continue our push. Our Parishes need the Knights now more than ever. These are not my words, rather, words from Parish Priests around the state. Membership recruitment is necessary to keep our councils strong.

Exemplification/Reporting Form 450 - Give the gift of a Knights of Columbus membership. District Deputies, start scheduling your CUFs now. Again, let's get it done early. Let's help our councils become recruitment active. Let's make sure we give our candidates every opportunity to become a Knight. Get together with your Diocesan Deputy. Complete the CUFs by submitting your Form 450. Exemplification Teams should be preparing for the upcoming Convention Exemplification contest.

All Councils/Districts Active – Let’s work on getting rid of those goose eggs/zeros in recruitment. The Membership Team will be making phone calls to Districts/Councils that have not been recruitment active.

Online Membership/E-Membership - Let's continue to take advantage of this promotion. Supreme will continue with this promotion until June 2022, but let's take advantage of it. Have your councils continue to push for online membership. Promote MCGIVNEY2020.

Retention – Affiliate Member Initiative – The Affiliate Membership Program has come to an end. Hopefully your council took advantage of this program which ended January 31, 2022.

For the remainder of the Fraternal Year, use the standard State & Supreme approved retention process.

Let's get it done. Back to Basics, No Excuses! Vivat Jesus!
