The importance of helping
today's youth become tomorrow's leaders is also a huge focus of the Order.
For that reason, many local councils sponsor Columbian Squire Circles, the
Order's official youth organization for Catholic young men, ages 10-18,
which provide them the unique opportunity to develop leadership skills.
Additionally, through activities such as the Catholic Citizenship Essay
contest, the Substance Abuse Poster contest, and the annual Free Throw
championship, the Knights of Columbus assists youth in building a strong
sense of civic and religious responsibility.
Today's youth, the leaders of tomorrow,
are looking for a challenge, for responsibility, for faith and trust. Yet,
despite their commitments and dedication, the youth of the world are often
condemned because of the uncontrolled actions of a minority of young
people. As Knights of Columbus, it is our responsibility to provide youth
with the means and the opportunities to become personally committed and
involved in meeting the challenges of our times.
