Family Programs
Father McGivney sought to strengthen the bonds of families in his parish and the Knights of Columbus. These programs, created for families by families, help us to live this call.
Consecration to the Holy Family
Revitalize our parishes by urging our parish families to devote themselves to the ideal model of familial love set by Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Invite each family in your parish to consecrate themselves to the Holy Family.
Food for Families
Help end hunger in communities across the Treasure Valley. Many people in our communities are struggling through hardship and are unable to provide food to their families. Food for Families ensures that as few as possible go to bed hungry each night.
Family Fully Alive
Help families place God and the Catholic faith at the center of their lives. Using the Family Fully Alive Booklet as a devotional guide, this program provides monthly themes, reflections, meditations, and group projects.
Family of the Month/Year
Promote and support the development of strong and vibrant families. Our Council establishes a committee to recognize a deserving Family of the Month and Family of the Year with the potential for recognition on the international level.
Family Prayer Knight
Strengthen the bonds within our parishes and build faith-filled families. This is an opportunity for our Council members, their families, and the whole Holy Apostles parish community to come together once a month for an evening of prayer, dinner, and fellowship.
Family Week
Dedicate a week to celebrate our families. Councils plan a special week for their parish to celebrate family life. Activities presented in this program will strengthen the Holy Apostles parish community and affirm the central importance of Catholic family life.
Good Friday Family Promotion
Bring families into a more robust practice and better understanding of our Catholic faith and the Triduum. In an effort to increase parish attendance and involvement, councils conduct a promotional campaign to educate their parishes on the vital importance of Good Friday.
Keep Christ in CHRISTmas
Promote the true spirit of Christmas in homes, schools, parishes and communities. Councils will evangelize society through their faithful acts, celebrations and a variety of activities.

Our goal is to strengthen men and their families in the Catholic faith. Formation in our faith goes beyond mere facts or religious practice to an authentic connection with a loving God and his son Jesus Christ.
