Each council should establish a committee charged with the responsibility of selecting a Knight of the Month.

Program requirements dictate that at least six Knights of the Month be awarded by the council in a given fraternal year.

The committee should consider the following factors in their search for a Knight of the Month:

• Does the member have a robust prayer-life that goes beyond weekly mass attendance?
• Has the member made significant contributions to the parish and church community?
• Is the member active in serving his local community?
• Is the member a true Catholic gentleman? Does he serve as a model man to his brothers?

The Knight of the Month committee doesn’t need to seek out a “Superman” each month. The committee should look for a member that lives traditional Catholic masculine values and deserves recognition for doing so.

Knight of the Year

When selecting your council’s Knight of the Year, follow guidelines similar to those used by the committee in choosing each Knight of the Month. Eligible Knight of the year recipients must be a member of the Knights of Columbus. Knight of the Year should be chosen from those families named Family of the Month in the preceding months.
