Youth Activities

Brother Knights,

 

We have a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to engage our youth in the Catholic way of life.  The Council Youth activities are so important to our Mission, as well as our Parishes!  It is truly an honor to be in contact with so many Grand Knights, District Deputies, Youth Directors, and Activity Chairmen that serve our communities through their Youth Activities.  Programs include our Free-Throw Contest, Soccer Challenge, Substance Abuse Awareness contest, fundraising for the physically challenged and underprivileged youth, building playgrounds, and so much more.  Your continued efforts for these activities are crucial to preserving our communities and evangelizing the Catholic way of life.

I encourage you to continue your support and activities for our Youth. Our continuous support of Gibault is truly something to be proud of...but we can always do more!  If you don't have Squires programs yet...START ONE!  We have the greatest opportunity and privilege to be able to engage the youth of our communities and provide positive experiences for them.   Keep it up!

 

I thank all of the Grand Knights, District Deputies, Program Directors, Youth Directors, Regional Chairmen, and Activity Chairs who have made this a very successful year for Youth Activities.  You have done a fantastic job...keep up the great work!

 

Vivat Jesus,

SK Scott C. Cunningham
