Council Growth Pat Henz DIRECTOR
COUNCIL GROWTH The Mission Statement for Council Growth follows the dream set out by Fr. Michael J. McGivney to have a council in every parish. It also echo's the words of our Supreme Knight Carl Anderson stating that it is OUR moral obligation to provide a Knights of Columbus presence in every parish. This presence can be established by starting aNew Council, Reactivating a suspended Council, or establishing a Round Table.
COUNCIL GROWTH • Council Growth consists of: • New Council Development • Council Reactivation • Round Tables
