Worthy Grand Knight
As you know, any man who joins the Order online between now and 11:59pm Eastern Time on August 5 will pay no first-year dues. By visiting kofc.org/joinus and entering the code MCGIVNEY2020 the first-year dues for all new online members will be absolutely free. Please help to commemorate the joyous news of our beloved founder’s upcoming Beatification by promoting this limited-time offer to all prospects in your area.
This campaign has been very successful, with well over 300 men having joined in just the first few days of the promotion. Many of these men – having been motivated to join in tribute to Fr. McGivney – would surely be receptive to an invitation to take their degree, join a council, and get involved in programs that make a difference in their parish and community.
Please use the invitation below to invite all online members in your area – and all prospects - to register for an upcoming scheduled degree or on-demand. For on-demand, the 30-minute ceremony will start immediately upon completion of his registration.
Given everything that the Order is doing to help those most impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and the likelihood that the needs in our parishes and communities will increase rather than decrease in the days ahead, we can’t afford to wait. Catholic men need the Knights of Columbus…and we need them. Today!
Fraternally,
Robert J. Ennis
Director of Membership Growth
