As fathers and
husbands, serving our families is not only part of what we do, it's part
of who we are. To that end, Knights of Columbus councils offer programs
that strengthen family and marital bonds by holding numerous
family-focused events, including the "Family of the Month" program that
honors outstanding families. Most importantly, as Knights, we are able to
provide assistance and support to Knights and their families whenever
needed.
Take a look at what's happening to our
family life. Do we communicate? Do we share? Do we take time to get
involved with each other? Are there opportunities for improvement? What is
God's plan for us?
Today's society makes it hard to be a
family. Television takes up a lot of our time together. The hustle and
bustle of business, rushed meals, school, work, committee meetings, sports
and shopping are cramming our days and weeks.
The family is under heavy attack today.
The battle is largely over values and commitments. To survive, the family
needs support. Its primary source of strength must be found in a growing
religious and parish life. But it also can be helped substantially by an
organization such as ours
